Format:Paperback
Photographic examples of how to mix modernised backdrops with vintage and antique pieces. Many of the items of furniture are older but probably very expensive as most of the pictured pieces are designer ones ie Arne Jacobson and Robin Day. Not that easy to copy without a fat cheque book.

Cleverly divided into two parts - The Spaces - living room, bedroom etc., full of inspiring pictures and good advice and how to get these spaces right. This is followed by The Elements - lighting, textiles etc.
Personally, I was more interested in the pictures than the text but it was very informative and definitely something I'll look at again and again for advice, ideas and inspiration.
The book is quite small (at least my paperback copy was) so if possible, get it in hardback and it'll presumably be bigger.

If, like me you enjoy flipping through the pages of Housey magazines to drool over the pictures and get inspiration then this is a great little book. I got my copy from the library but I'm looking to buy my own copy. It's small and easy to fit in your bag, easy to pull out on the bus/train journey home. Like the previous reviewer I was more interested in the photo's. Yes, there's some expensive pieces (and you dont come across them at flea markets for a song anymore), but they are beautiful and look beautiful in their surroundings. This book is put together to inspire, and for me there were lots of little things that stood out as achievable in my own home. This book was published 10 years ago but it doesnt look dated like so many other interior design books.
