Kelly Hoppen Home is the ultimate decorating book, offering the chance to learn from the world-renowned designer's chic, modern design philosophy. From an idea's conception, through initial preparation and decision-making, to action planning and its eventual fruition, Kelly Hoppen shares insider secrets and reveals how to get the most from a living space. In Home, Kelly explores the entire process of creating a home that meets all your needs -one that is as functional and versatile as it is beautiful and nurturing. Kelly's skill in understanding how a home works and what gives it its individual look is illustrated by a portfolio of projects from the UK, USA, Israel and Switzerland. Beginning with her personal story of redesigning her own home, Kelly explains how to become your own interior designer. She divides the book into five parts, each focusing on a different element of interior design: the design process; design and decoration; furniture and furnishings; feeding the senses; and finishing with a room-by-room overview. Providing architectural plans and drawings alongside Vincent Knapp's stunning photographs, Hoppen's Home is a genuine treasure-trove of tips and techniques on how to become your own interior designer.
