Focusing on living rooms, this is one of a series of concise, visual resource books for people moving to a new home which are designed to give aspirational and practical ideas for decorating rooms. The books offer advice on topics such as which elements of a room should be looked at first, which colours are right and why, and what fits best with existing furniture and ornaments. Each of the photographs has a long caption which uses the photograph as a counterpoint to explain ideas and give advice, and at the end of the book there is a list of mail-order suppliers of paint, fitments and fittings.
