Product Description

Renowned interior designer John Saladino reveals his design secrets in this superb two-part book. He first addresses those perennial design problems that preoccupy us all: how to pare away unnecessary details to create order and balance; how to imbue a room with that timeless quality; how to link a series of rooms so that each flows naturally into the next; how to control large space, giving it intimacy; how to make the most of natural light; and how to use colour best. He acknowledges the influence of world-famous interiors and gardens and translates their principles into ideas within reach of everyone. The second part of the book focuses on Saladino's most impressive creations, from a city apartment in New York to a West Coast retreat. These locations pull together all the various strands of Saladino's design principles and represent a grand finale to the book. Also included are Saladino's own floor plans as well as a fold-out view of his house and garden in Connecticut.
