Product Description

Nina Campbell's interiors are luxurious yet comfortable, practical but elegant, and her clients include many of today's most influential individuals and organizations. In this fabulous book, Nina breaks down interior style into its component parts and spotlights each of them in turn. By identifying how you can work on each element, room by room (from Kitchens and bathrooms to dining rooms and drawing rooms) and topic by topic (from lighting to window treatments), she explains how you, too, can create the right mix of traditional and modern in your own home, to suit your family and your lifestyle. - Essential advice on choosing and using wallpapers, fabrics, and paint colors. - House and Garden wrote: "There's no finer ambassador of contemporary British style than Nina Campbell. Put together and what have you got? "Class plus dash." - Inspirational photography by Tim Beddow

WISDOM THAT DOES NOT WORK!!!!1
WHAT A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT FROM ONE WHO IS SUPPOSE TO BE A GOOD DESIGNER...IT IS OBVIOUS NINA CAMPBELL IS TRYING TO DRUM UP NEW CLIENTS AND BUSINESS WITH AN EYE TOWARDS THAT 60'S AND 70'S "stuff". SHE IS FOLLOWING THE TREND RIGHT AT THE MOMENT HOPING TO CAPITALIZE ON THE RETRO MOVEMENT.....SHE SHOULD STICK TO WHAT SHE IS KNOWN FOR...

THIS BOOK IS NOT A GOOD REFLECTION OF HER TASTE OR ABILITY.........TOO BAD..

I WOULD RECOMMEND TO SAVE YOUR MONEY AND NOT BUY THIS BOOK...IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT GO TO THE LIBRARY OR THE LOCAL BORDERS AND LOOK....

Great all a round guide for high end decorating5
The book is filled with practical ideas for highend decorating using the best quality items. The illustrations are excellent and really do help point out the concepts trying to be taught. With time and effort the look can be achieved. I like that it moves us away form the HGTV look of beige and minimalism.

very poor "design"1
I think the book was way below my expectations and I feel very unhappy for purchasing it!
