and use artworks-will ensure that the changes you make today will remain fresh year after year, trend after trend. She provides inspiration and ideas on how to make the design fit with specific living requirements. See the results for yourself as she takes us through an inner-city townhouse, a lake house, a beach house, a city apartment, a country house and a period house.
A full chapter explains the scope and potential of colour, and inventive ways of using it to conjure up bravura effects. You will see the possibilities a splash of turquoise can have on a white-on-white house, and how a vibrant ceramic border can add that certain liveliness to a tiled terracotta floor.
The practical do-it-yourself hints at the end of each chapter will help you to overcome any uncertainty and hesitancy when faced with difficult decisions.
Inside is a book of inspiration for people who want to live well, in a place that reflects their personality, and discover for themselves the joy of making a house.
