Think Home - Judith Wilson, Ryland, Peters & Small

The secret to a home that works effortlessly and looks beautiful is inspired thinking. Ask any interior designer or architect, and they will say that time spent thinking and planning is never wasted. In Think Home the reader is encouraged to do just that: think. The introduction, Wishful Thinking, encourages readers to plan for their dream home. Chapter 1, Think Hard, guides the reader through the all-important first steps in planning, organizing, and setting a budget. The second chapter, Think Lifestyle, divides living spaces into three categories - family zones, sociable spaces and quiet retreats - and discusses each one. Chapter 3, Think Inspired, focuses on creative options such as colour and texture, while Chapter 4, Think Rooms, features examples of brilliantly planned spaces that work perfectly for their occupants. The book is also packed with Think fact boxes, Think About checklists, and This Expert Thinks pearls of wisdom from professional interior designers and architects.
