At Peace at Home by Juliet Pegrum
Inspiring designs for every room with this guide to encompassing basic principles for a truly relaxing home. Take a new look at living spaces, discover how a modest style provides the basis for a simple, "easeful" environment in which to live at peace. A wealth of practical and enlightening advice on topics ranging from colour and texture to the use of light are accompanied by more than 160 colour photographs. This provides visual inspiration in all areas of the home and garden, together with thought-provoking quotations from both Eastern and Western traditions. In a highly original approach, At Peace at Home brings self and home closer together - creating relaxing environments that reflect our innermost selves.
A timely antidote to the sumptuous and claustrophobic school of interior design, all clutter and multiple soft furnishings done in velvetHere are clear lines, natural light and materials, plain neutral colours and empty spaces. Without embracing the stringent and oppressive principles of postmodern minimalism, these rooms owe their appeal to simplicity, clarity, harmony and relatively unadorned comfort. These are rooms not just for looking at as display pieces, but also for living and thriving in. Eastern philosophy is the inspiration for many of the author's ideas, but these are not too elaborately developed in a book that is itself a model of simple, clear and welcoming presentation. The author lives and works in New York and runs her own home furnishing company.
