Bedrooms

FROM THE PUBLISHER

A bedroom is a sanctuary, a private oasis where one can retreat, relax, and find refuge. Because this highly personal room fulfills such a variety of physical and emotional needs, it should be designed and decorated to soothe both body and mind. An appealing and inviting bedroom requires some planning - and lots of inspiration. Filled with beautiful full-color photographs that present a range of materials, styles, and techniques for designing and decorating, Bedrooms provides the innovative ideas and inspiration so necessary for creating welcoming, comforting rooms.

With an introduction that discusses the basics of bedroom design and decoration and takes a look at the history of the bedroom, Bedrooms then moves on to present a wide variety of different bedroom styles in chapter one, including period decorating and modern, current trends. Gain insight and stock up on ideas as each photograph reveals wonderfully designed decorating schemes. Then, in chapter two, get a close look at bedroom details and finishing touches with photographs and information that focus on linens, furnishings, lighting, wall treatments, and of course, beds.
