Samenvatting:

The traditional drawing room is the heart of the home and also a room in which aesthetic preferences and individuality of taste can be indulged and satisfied. This book contains chapters on the general character and disposition of the drawing room and how to combine comfort and elegance. There are chapters on important design elements such as lighting, the hanging of paintings, the choice and groupings of favourite objects, the use of colour, curtains and pelmets, friezes, cornices and ceiling treatments as well as classic, gothic and rural drawing room design. The photographs used in this book have been taken from House and Garden magazine.
