Description

An inside look at how the creative community makes borrowed spaces feel personal, layered, and alive. Home for Now explores how to live meaningfully in spaces that are not entirely your own. In a world shaped by mobility, high rents, and fading permanence, it shows how a new generation creates home within borrowed walls and between cities.Case studies reveal how limits inspire ingenuity: spaces that feel personal, layered, and alive with ritual. Blending essays, photography, and ideas for everyday life, the book is a portrait of adaptability and the art of making space-wherever you are, and however long you stay. Paul Firmin is an author, and co-founder of Earl of East, the London-based fragrance and lifestyle brand he created with his partner, Niko Dafkos, in 2014.His work explores the relationship between scent, space and everyday life, and how considered objects and small rituals can change the atmosphere of a home. Through Earl of East, Paul works across fragrance, interiors, retail, publishing and creative collaborations.He is the co-author of The Scented Candle Workshop and Home For Now: Living Well Without Staying Long. Moving from the craft of creating fragrance to the wider idea of creating home, the books reflect his belief that meaningful spaces are built through memory, personality and ritual rather than permanence or perfection.Paul lives and works in East London. Earl of East is a fragrance and lifestyle brand based in London, known for its thoughtful blend of storytelling, design, and sensory experience.
