In the past creating a sanctuary was about the decoration of a few key rooms, now it is about how the home as a whole makes us feel. Cocooning is not about isolation or shutting down and does not have to mean going off-grid - it is simply about tuning back into our emotions, creativity and curiosity to satisfy our need for shelter, comfort and wonder. Photographed in inspirational homes around the world - from small inner-city sanctuaries to spacious island retreats, Cocoon celebrates a design approach that speaks to the heart.
