Structured as a complete course in interior design, internationally acclaimed interior designer Mary Gilliatt explains the principles of successful design through a series of easy-to-follow sections. The book is divided into 2 main sections - The Basics and The Specifics. The first looks at planning principles and the main elements of good design: lighting, colour, texture and pattern, and scale and balance. The Specifics, takes the reader through each element of the room - walls, windows, floors and furnishings - and discusses the different approaches available for each.
