All in the Detail

A building may be beautiful but our homes are also defined by our possessions – without them our living quarters have no personality. It is only when our books and photographs, pictures and cushions are in place that our houses and flats become real homes. All in the Detail provides hundreds of ideas for affordable finishing touches that will enhance the elegance and individuality of your home.

Caroline Clifton-Mogg looks at the principles of display and arrangement, of the importance of scale, and how to edit your possessions so they make the maximum impact, in chapters including Pictures, Mirrors and Other Wall Art; Flowers and Plants; Soft Furnishings; China and Glass; and Living (encompassing Living with Books; Mantelpieces and Fireplaces; and Lighting). Finally, there is a chapter exploring Decorative Collections. From hanging pictures to arranging quirky collections, from displaying textiles to making the most of mantelpieces, Caroline will inspire you to add finishing touches with confidence and flair.
