Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Nina's interiors are fashionable, yet they stand the test of time. They are invariably luxurious yet comfortable, practical but elegant, and her client list includes many of today's most influential people and establishments. 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 shows you how to create similarly beautiful, stylish interiors in your own home. With today's return to color and pattern in the home, this book also offers essential advice on choosing and using wallpapers, fabrics, and paint colors. And whether you are re-decorating your whole house, re-vamping a single room, or merely updating one element, such as soft furnishings, Nina offers expertise and inspiration that you won't find anywhere else. Nina is also acknowledged as a leading London hostess and here she shares her secrets on decorating for successful entertaining, from laying the table to organizing the room. Nina Campbell Elements of Design is a masterclass on how to create the right mix of contemporary and traditional in your own home, for your family, and your lifestyle.
