Imagine a home that is easy to move through and visually connected, one with light switches in just the right places, and seamless storage that works day in, day out. Living quarters with a colour palette that functions as well in the kitchen as in the bedroom, with rooms that are configured to match your lifestyle. Imagine a home that works as a whole, from top to bottom, front to back, a space conceived with one strong and simple vision.
'Harmonious Home' is a guide to creating that streamlined home, taking you to the heart of fuss-free living. Whether you live in a flat or a house, the book point the way to evaluating and maximising its potential.
Part 1, Thoughts and Plans, is devoted to initial ideas, from setting a budget to examining the architectural bones you already have. Part 2, Bare Essentials, helps sort the practicalities, from perfectly sited heating and lighting, to visually cohesive materials and colours.
Part 3, Space Specifics, homes in on a variety of space configurations, from small rooms to open-plan zones, proving that it's not square metres that count, but how you use them. Each section ends with a case study of a real home that demonstrates beautifully how the harmonious home can work.
