It explains how to bring peace and tranquility to your living space. The book explores the different ways in which an environment can be shaped to create a place of relaxation in which to nurture your soul. The first step of this creative process is to open the door to a world of different cultures, styles, colours and textures. Inspiration found in the Vastu Shastra - a Hindu text which describes how to order your home in order to reap spiritual benefits - will inspire the reader to use red, the colour of Agni, the god of appetite and fire, in the dining room. Photographs of calm, Japanese-influenced space introduce the concept of design incorporating the 'five elements'.  A visual exploration of a simply decorated home, balancing Yin and Yan energies in the use of colour and form, reveals the creative possibilities engendered by Asian design. The book consists of 7 chapters: Primitive Spirit; Oceana; Visions of Vastu; Ways of Asia; Pure Tao; Sun Power and Comparative Style. Each chapter lays out the essential colours, textures and materials of each philosophy and then reveals how these are used through an exploration of interior design for real homes. No corner is left unexplored: this book will show you how to achieve a grand scheme inspired by the sundrenched colours of the Aztec gods or simply create an effective, eye catching detail at your window using organic objects collected along the beach. Essentially, the book will allow you to create a personal environment in which your spirit can roam free.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49513623650577,"sku":"GOR001459592","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1862055416.jpg?v=1751092081"},{"product_id":"zen-interiors-book-lee-vinny-9781862054530","title":"ZEN INTERIORS","description":"Interiors inspired by the philosophy of Zen provide the ideal refuge from today's frantic lifestyle; Reflects ever-expanding fascination with Oriental influence on Western design; Photography by major interiors photographers; The elements of Zen are synonymous with natural harmony, balance, lack of clutter, inner peace and calm.

The first section introduces the key elements in creating a zen-style interior, the most important of which are simplicity and serenity. Vinny Lee looks at materials and fabrics and how they can give a sense of touch and texture, the use of light to echo nature and how paring down and clever use storage space can create order and harmony. The second section puts these principles into practice showing how the areas of your home can be arranged and decorated to create tranquil and calming atmospheres. One Zen belief is that you can find pleasure in the simplest everyday tasks, from bathing to the preparation of food, so the rooms where these activities take place are dealt with, from eating places, living rooms, sleeping spaces and bathrooms.
