  This is a collection of projects and ideas which show that one doesn't have to spend a lot of time and money to give one's home real style and individuality. Chapter by chapter it looks at the raw materials available to the home-maker, including paper, paint and fabric, and shows how to get the best out of them. From the simple to the more elaborate, from quick display ideas or wallpaper borders to projects such as a painted chequerboard floor, striped chair-covers or an unusually decorated screen, the emphasis throughout is on practicality as well as inspiration, and colour photographs, accompanied by detailed step-by-step illustrations enable anyone to recreate the ideas featured.
