Readers learn ways to create a home for living, not merely a designer showcase.The book features four major current styles: Natural, New Classical, Soft Design, and Color and Contrast. Color photos show how to achieve each look through the use of interior space and light, textures and furnishings, and design details from tableware to door handles.
