Good Homes 101 Creative Touches

by Julie Savill

Interior designers know that paint, fabric and carpet are only the start of a room scheme: it is the creative finishing touches that really bring a room to life. These smaller details give a room personality a pretty edging on a blind or the way pictures have been grouped above a fireplace. These are the money-cant-buy tricks that professional stylists use every day to make their rooms look beautiful. 101 Creative Touches puts all the expert knowledge of an army of stylists into the hands of the home decorator and provides a wide range of insider secrets with simple instructions to get the ideas off the pages and into their homes. The book is divided by project type into eight sections and each project is supported by a beautiful full-colour photo, a list of whats needed to carry out the technique and easy-to-follow instructions. At the back of the book theres an invaluable list of specialist suppliers for the materials which are used throughout.

While many of the ideas are not my aesthetic, several of them made me think of other ways of using parts of the idea for my own uses. Most of them are too fiddly for me, but many of them made me think of ways of adapting them. A creative springboard is what I found this book to be.

I would have been upset to have bought it but as a loan from the library, it's perfect for ideas.
