Reviews
Conran claims that "good design is ninety-eight per cent common sense, two per cent aesthetics." In this comprehensive book on decorating and design (an updated, completely revised edition of The House Book), he offers inspiring ideas and outlines the practical considerations necessary for creating a comfortable and beautiful home. Checklists of safety precautions and building procedures, budgeting suggestions, discussion of the characteristics of different materials for floors and curtains, architectural styles and garden layouts are accompanied by glossy color photos of the vast range of possibilities. Not only a practical guide, this book is also a beautiful house tour, a joy for browsers. Conran, founder of Conran home furnishing stores, is the author of The Kitchen Book, etc. October 28

Conran's completely revised edition of The House Book (1976) offers comprehensive coverage of all aspects of design and decoration from structural and architectural aspects of the exterior to interior finishes and style. Extensive checklists help the reader assess design needs and to plan for layout, storage, and heating. Room by room, the lucid text details potential problems and gives inspiring solutions to the specifics of flooring, lighting, furniture, accessories, and space planning. Over 750 handsome color photographs illustrate the diversity of Conran's ideas. A final section, "Essentials," adds much practical advice on safety, utilities, maintenance, and design for the disabled. This wide-ranging sourcebook follows the same useful lines as its companion volumes, The Kitchen Book and The Bed and Bath Book. Highly recommended. Margaret Jean Owens, Santa Ana P.L., Cal.
