Based on the principle that decorating does not have to be time-consuming or expensive, this book is a guide to creating simple yet effective schemes. Over 200 colour photographs are included, each one highlighting a simple solution to a classic decorating problem. Each section contains original, practical advice on how to get around many of the classic decorating problems - awkwardly shaped rooms, too little space and ugly fittings - with imagination and ingenuity substituting for a large decorating budget. Both the photographs and text show how would-be decorators can progress from first thoughts through to simple, effective solutions.
