Customer Reviews

The only reference guide you'll need!
What a fantastic coffee table book! Packed full of ideas on how to kit and fit your home whether its your first, last or an investment. Loads of reference sections on kitchen and bathroom fitments, paint and wallpaper finishes and pages towards the end of the book with contact names and addresses to get you started.
A must have for any homeowner looking to improve, or indeed anyone interested in home designs.

Inspirational and Practical
This is a great book for many reasons but here's the main one: There are many "creative" design books and there are many technical manuals. This book bridges the two genres with an inspirational approach to design yet it seamlessly changes into a reference book with details on materials and suppliers by the time you get to the end. I love it for that. It recognises the practical requirements for great design...
