Synopsis
One of today's most visionary designers - her clients include Robert Redford, Herb and Lani Alpert and Sylvia Rhone - offers a sumptuous guide to creating personal spaces that soothe the soul and nourish the senses. Our homes should provide a respite from the demands of daily life, a refuge filled with things that restore and delight us. The space must fully engage the senses, offering soothing sounds, sensuous aromas and tactile surfaces, as well as wonderful things to look at - all flowing from the individuals palate and experience. In Total Design, renowned designer Clodagh shows how this design philosophy has been expressed in some of the most innovative interiors of the last decade. Before beginning any design project, Clodagh counsels readers to consider the four C's: First contemplate the space. How does it make you feel? Cleanse the space of unwanted objects to give the mind and spirit room to soar. Clarify your goals, needs and desires. Finally, create a space that incorporates your necessities and desires.
