Nina Campbell's Decorating Notebook: Insider Secrets and Decorating Ideas for Your Home

Nina Campbell, pioneer of classic English comfort and style, has produced a uniquely revealing book, explaining not only her trademark touches, secret sources and techniques, but her personal inspirations and the very methods she uses in her international designs; and then, using a selection of her town and country interiors, shows you how to use them for each individual home. In her Decorating Notebook, Nina takes the home decorator through each stage, from bare walls to styling cushions. With hints and tips from her own diaries and notebooks, Nina explains how to think as a successful decorator does, and how to assess your own home as a designer would. Firstly, she explains how to find inspirations that work. Once you have found your inspiration, Nina explains how to put it into practice with creative solutions to the key question: how to assess your needs. Nina explains how to make those all-important decisions; from assessing the shape of a room and whether your space works well for your needs to how to plan a lighting scheme. The book covers all types of home, from tiny apartments in the city to cozy family houses outside town. Accompanied by specially commissioned photographs, with annotated "before" and "after" shots, from start to finish as well as invaluable questionnaires and checklists, learn how to decide what you want, what you need, and then, above all, indulge yourself with Nina’s innovative, yet accessible, ideas about the best schemes to suit you.
