They make a home stand apart, pull an entire look together, offer endless variation in color and texture, and best of all, don"t have to cost much: from curtains to cushions to chair-covers, stitch up wildly appealing and imaginative soft furnishings for every room. Recover a fabric screen to coordinate with any décor; hang sheer window curtains that allow you to enjoy the view beyond--and then stencil a leafy design round the frame; replace the fabric on a director"s chair or a deckchair to spruce it up; and embroider a duvet with lace to it looks like an heirloom. Plus: treatments for walls, doors, ceilings, and tables. They"re often simple to make and simply beautiful. "This lavishly illustrated guide has Conran"s stylish practical stamp firmly upon it."--The Sunday Telegraph.
