Justina’s New Book
Three years in the making and finished during lockdown, Justina Blakeney’s
third book Jungalow: Decorate Wild (Abrams, New York, 2021) delivers the
color wow and authentic warmth you’ve come to expect and love from the
queen of Jungalow — and this time there’s more of it. With an overriding
message that home is a place of nurture and that diversity adds spice to life
and decorating, Blakeney’s goal as artist and author is to free the reader’s
potential and inspire them to cultivate a space to grow and blossom.
Blakeney more than adequately spreads this message in 270 visually rich
pages featuring an array of color-drenched interiors and architectural imagery
from Blakeney’s travels, design projects, and product collaborations.
Principal photographer Dabito is a close friend; Blakeney calls him “a creative
powerhouse.”
Autobiographical and informative, Blakeney writes about her
Black/Jewish roots, challenges she’s faced, and embracing her
“mixed-ness.” Likening humans to plants which seek new connections
to root, she encourages growing “aventitious roots,” the
ones created by experience and discovery, not by inheritance.
Highlights include examples of Blakeney’s new blended decorating
styles such as Turk-Xican and Moroc-Cali, endless pattern
and plant play, DIY projects, and thoughts on foraging. —J.D.
