In Your Own Style: The Art of Creating Wonderful Rooms

Both a step-by-step guide and a showcase of ideas, this handbook reveals trade secrets and provides a discussion of the interior design process. Starting with the fundamentals of developing an overall plan, separate chapters describe the basic options and offer practical advice on flooring, walls and ceilings, fixtures and fittings, lighting, colour, furniture, windows, fabrics and accessories, as well as how to hire professionals. Colour photographs illustrate decorating styles from the minimalist to the ornate. A glossary and directory of resources complete the book.
