Mary Gilliatt's Interior Design Course

Structured as a complete course in interior design, this text explains the principles of successful design through a series of easy-to-follow modules, complete with tasks and exercises for you to carry out at home. It is divided into two sections: the basics of good design, from lighting, colour, texture, pattern, scale and balance, to styles which can be used as references. The second section takes you through each element of the room, from walls, windows, floors to furnishings, and discusses the different approaches available for each. Examples include detailed looks at wall coverings, from special paint finishes to fabrics, as well as window treatments and choosing furniture. This part then concludes with "finishing touches" which looks at choosing accessories and details that complete the interior.

The renovation and revival of old houses is a thriving industry. With careful planning you can combine the charm of the old with the best of the new. "Great Renovations" not only shows international older houses but centres on easily translatable ideas and interiors. The book fir st discusses the challenges and potential of older houses, it defines house styles up until the 1930's and explains what to look for and what to avoid, encouraging research into what was originally intended so that features can easily be repaired or replicated. The book discusses the reverential approach where a house is re-created to its original design as well as the sensitive approach to renovation. Here the spirit and integrity of the original is respected but new ideas, techniques, materials and new uses of space can be introduced. Chapters cover different types of housing and 2 case studies of successfully renovated homes for inspiration. An appendix gives practical information on period details, restoring floors, lighting, appropriate colour schemes as well as new or substitute materials.
