Integrating homes into their surroundings and creating attractive interior spaces which satisfy the needs of their owners are the main aims that today's interior designs seek to achieve. With new materials, ecological concerns and expanding conceptions of what 'home' can mean the possibilities are almost infinite. This volume presents some of the most outstanding projects in recent years, both traditional spaces (with modern solutions) and new ideas of home. 34 striking examples of houses and apartments have been brought together allowing readers to appreciate the magnificent combinations of decorative styles and imaginative solutions employed by architects and designers. Trendy lofts, warm ice palaces, converted factories, optical illusions, dual use home/office spaces and grandiose attics are just some of the spaces depicted here with clear photos, text and plans.
