Relaxed and informal, sustaining and reassuring, a welcoming family home is one to which we all aspire. Creating a haven away from the rigours of everyday life is a vital element in making a house a home. The Family Home suggests ways of adapting our living spaces to the needs of working from home, coping with extended families, fitting a full family life into a decreasing amount of leisure time, and creating a low-maintenance home. Each chapter covers a specific area, from kitchens to living areas and children's rooms to parents' bedrooms, as well as family gardens. Essential planning information and decorating ideas are provided, plus time-saving tips and suggestions for adapting your home as children grow. With 20 step-by-step projects, the emphasis is as much on practicality as it is on design and decoration.

With its origins in countries as diverse as Japan and Bali, Thailand and Sri Lanka, an Asian aesthetic has taken root in the West. This book aims to provide fresh, distinctive decorating inspiration for indoors and outdoors in the contemporary home. The emphasis is on minimalism, using mainly wood, ceramics, natural fibres and water, and the book explains how these create a sense of harmony and balance which is prevalent in Eastern culture.
