## Description

Many of us dream of hiring an interior designer to create the perfect home, but it's an expense that few of us can manage these days. The affordable alternative is to undertake the work yourself, and Secrets of a Stylish Home is just the book to show you how. Written by interior designer Cate Burren, it is both a practical guide to working through a project and a visual reference of attractive design ideas. With chapters on the importance of finding your style, planning your layout, using colour, creating your scheme and managing your project, Secrets of a Stylish Home takes you through each stage of either redesigning your whole home or simply tackling the makeover of a single room, distilling the knowledge that Burren has gathered over the years into clear, easy-to-follow steps. Her insightful advice is accompanied by numerous real-life case studies, drawings and plans that help to clarify the processes described, and beautiful images by interiors photographer Simon Whitmore. Whatever your experience of interior design, this book will give you the know-how and confidence to develop your own style and transform your living space.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not just a pretty book
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 25 May 2013*

Lots of interior design books are full of pretty pictures but don't really help mere mortals to design their own homes. This book is full of good, sensible advice, as well as beautiful photos. The photos are of real, achievable, results not grand designs. The advice is genuinely useful: how to develop your own style and apply it to the whole house; how not to be pushed into styles that aren't really you by the architecture of your house; how to accommodate children in a stylish home so that their childhood is not constrained by style.... I wish I'd had this book years ago, I could have avoided an awful lot of false starts, the hassle of re-working rooms, and a great deal of cost.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very informative book
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 December 2021*

I got lots of inspiration from this book. Beautifully photographed design ideas. I will be browsing through this book for many years.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good ideas
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 August 2016*

Very nice photographed book. Hope I end up with such a nice home at the end of reading it
