Focusing on the principal elements that make up the home - walls, floors, windows and doors, furniture and furnishings, storage and display - the authors show how the contemporary look can be achieved without calling in the professional. They open our eyes to an evocative range of materials not traditionally considered for the home, such as glass bricks for walls: concrete and rubber for floors: metal for doors. They courage us to experiments with colours, fabric and lighting, seek out effective storage alternatives and rethink our displays to achieve a sense of vitality and clarity.
