Homes & Gardens Book Of Design

An Imaginative Resource for Contemporary Living to Create Individual Style that Works and Endures.

'Homes & Gardens' magazine is highly respected for its creative yet accessible approach to interiors themes. This imaginative, contemporary resource focuses upon the essential principles of design and decoration - space and shape, lighting, colour, materials and texture, fabric and pattern - and shows how these classic concepts can be adapted to any location or look.

An inspirational and authoritative reference base, the book explores the ideas that make individual rooms work, and reveals how classic concepts are featured within a variety of contemporary interpretations. This highly approachable, topical guide reflects keynotes of balance, value and permanence, rather than transient makeovers and trends. It encourages the reader to experiment with a personal vision by understanding the rationale behind design success.
