Providing professional and inspirational advice about transforming the home's interiors, this text discusses how to approach the basics of planning, of choosing materials and paints for surfaces, and of selecting fabrics, then it goes on to illustrate both the transformation of whole rooms and the revitalisation of existing designs - the major make-over and the small touches that rejuvenate a scheme. The authors show how we can take care of the functional aspects of the home whilst making it an airy and relaxing retreat from our busy lives. They show how all this can be done with style - how all the home's disparate requirements can be pulled together into a whole new look that is fresh and satisfying.
