Fabric Inspirations: 1 - Hardcover

Be brave about changing fabrics around and using them seasonally - draping beds, sofas and chairs with soft woolen throws and cushions in winter; and putting up crisp cotton curtains and linen sheets on the beds in summer: This book is crammed with inspiring pictures of London homes, using fabrics in many ways and it comes with directory at the back. --Homes & Properties (Evening Standard) Circ ('000):274 1 October 2008

This book helps you discover how to express your personality and inject achievable style into your home by the use of fabrics. Whether your favourite style is sophisticated or relaxed, traditional or modern, urban or country, fabrics can help you create a look that's individual, comfortable and effortlessly chic. Kate French and Katherine Sorrell demonstrate the timeless appeal of fabrics in their myriad forms, from curtains to cushions, from loose covers to lampshades. They offer great ideas for every room - even for unexpected places such as bathrooms, home offices and outdoor areas. They look at how to use colour, texture and pattern, and how to choose the right fabric for the function.
