Designing Spaces: Transforming Every Room With Easy, Elegant Style

Description

Marrying sophisticated design principles with accessible, affordable ideas, American's favourite interior designer, Vern Yip, decorating genius (and enthusiastic cheerleader) on TLC's Trading Spaces, teaches readers how to revamp their living spaces in order to best reflect their unique personalities and lifestyle demands. From creating an essential "space plan" for each room, to finding just the right colours, flooring, lighting, countertops, and more, Vern's secrets and strategies are guaranteed to turn any house into a stunning, inviting, one-of-a-kind home. Family rooms, living rooms, kitchens, teenager's bedrooms, dens, master bedrooms - is it any wonder, with so much diversity under one roof, that the average homeowner finds the task of decorating to be a daunting one? Vern to the rescue: tackling one room at a time, he illuminates all the ways to give each space the right balance of flair and function. While great design shouldn't require a huge budget, in so many design books, the two seem inseparable. Not so in Vern's Designing Spaces, this offers reasonably-priced approaches that add up to incredibly stylish, beautiful results. Lavishly designed with full-colour photographs, Vern treats the reader to a step-by-step, savvy guide to getting the home they always dreamed of...and they'll have fun in the process.

The most popular designer featured on the most successful home improvement show on television, TLC's Trading Spaces, Vern Yip also runs a thriving architectural and interior design firm in Atlanta, GA.
