Publisher's Synopsis
Our home plays a central role in our lives. We want our home to reflect our individual tastes and personalities and to be a place to which we can retreat from the stresses of modern living. Today many of us choose to work from home and we will certainly want to relax eat sleep and entertain there. A home that is a comfortable well-designed efficient living space is both pleasing to the senses and necessary for our physical and emotional well-being. Julia and Nicholas Barnard who between them have many years' experience as home-makers and professional design consultants present New Decorator as the only book on interior design to give equal weight to the practical decorative and sensuous considerations that lie at the heart of every comfortable home.
