Do you agree that we have a much freer approach to living areas than we used to be? Today we also live in our offices, libraries or even our kitchens. In short, the living room has been greatly expanded. We criss-crossed town and country looking for inspiring living rooms in flats, lofts and country houses. Some are quite contemporary, others distinctly artistic and others provide a degree of rural tranquility. The result is an inspiring book for everyone wanting to decorate and furnish their living areas in an original way! Author Piet Swimberghe and photographer Jan Verlinde, both from Knack Weekend, travel across Europe in search of personal interiors with an artistic touch. They have published several interior design books in Belgium and abroad and are regular contributors to a number of European interior design magazines.
