Family Living: Creating the Perfect Family Home

One of the main objectives in home decorating is to create a warm, loving environment in which to raise a family. Family Living addresses this issue directly, while showcasing a broad range of styles, from contemporary to classic to downright funky. Interiors expert Judith Wilson blends knowledge gained in the writing of two previous books-Children's Spaces and Essential Home-to the delight of the entire family. By dividing the home into zones based on their use and function - Activity Zones, Peaceful Zones and Practical Zones - Family Living creates a flexible framework to satisfy active youngsters, style conscious teens and tranquillity-seeking parents alike.

Judith Wilson has been an interiors writer and stylist since 1987, including a six-year stint on Homes & Gardens, where she was decorating editor. Since the arrival of her two children, Cicely and Felix, she has been a freelance contributor to many publiations, including the Telegraph Magazine, House & Garden, Livingetc, and the Independent Magazine. Her two previous books, Children's Spaces and Essential Home, are both published by Ryland Peters & Small, Inc. Judith also lectures at the KLC School of Design.
