Great design ideas

A Subdued Yet Elegant Laurence

When I first obtained this book, I was expecting something flashy and opulent as Mr. Llewellyn-Bowen can be at times, and for which I admire his style greatly. But, he shows in simple ways how you can display even ordinary objects with great finesse and style. By using the everyday items in your home or even everyday objects from outdoors he shows you how you can display them to the best advantage. Some of the ways include by color, texture, provenance, size and shape. He also shows how to use the maximum versus the minimum impact; symmetry versus asymmetry.You can even display the items in your food pantry--if you have a mind to with this book. I still wanted a little something showy with this book - something bright red with a little leopard print, but still I was very satisfied Laurence's book.
