THE BIG DECORATION BOOK

Book Presentation

In our modern age, people are subjected to constant stress and stress in their daily lives and especially in the world of work. For this reason, the home should be a quiet haven where peace, relaxation, tranquility and comfort can help the modern man to disconnect from the daily routine. To make this possible, the home should not just be a properly arranged space. The spaces in a house should contain elements that give them a distinctive physique and make them attractive.

They should express the people living there making them feel comfortable in a beautiful environment. In all of this, decor contributes in a very important and effective way. Thus, a masterpiece of poorly decorated architectural work completely loses its appeal. On the other hand, a home without great specificity can with a proper décor become an absolutely enjoyable and attractive living space.

The separate sections and chapters of this book offer a broad and multi-faceted approach to decoration in a kaleidoscopic way. Elements, ideas and especially art are presented, as well as how they can be selected, arranged and used. The issues are not presented in a theoretical way, but are based on specific practices of all kinds and particular styles that exist in different countries of the world.

Most of the decorated environments presented in this book have been created by great contemporary professionals (in some cases the spaces of their present residence), as well as by individuals with original ideas and unique decorative tastes. With all this we believe we offer here an important and varied sample that includes a wide range of decorative spaces from the most innovative loft to the rural residence and from designer furniture to simple everyday objects.
