Customer Reviews

Comprehensively Great
It is good to know even the design gurus in the world suffer from clutter like us mere mortals. Another entertaining read from Terrence Conran with great ideas and strategies for keeping everything organised and in its place. Informative, all ways amusing and never condescending this book makes tidying up cool!

Lots of style, very little substance
This book might just be useful if you have:
- a big house
- enough money to commission bespoke fitted furniture from skilled craftsmen
- very little 'stuff', all of it chosen for visual effect
- a careful cleaner who dusts open shelves every day
and you find it helpful to be told (for example) that poisons should be kept under lock and key if there are children around, and that the first-aid box should be easily accessible.
For anyone who hasn't and doesn't it's a waste of money.
