  A visual gallery of styles for the bedroom, And So To Bed is an inspiring survey, presented through authoritative text and superb styles of photographs of beds and bedrooms. The idea of the bedroom as a retreat within the home - a space for relaxation and escape as well as for sleeping and reviving the spirit - is central to this inspiring book. Keith Barnett, the founder of the influential And So To Bed company, has said: 'The bedroom is the most personal room in the house, a place where you can indulge your own tastes and create a private sanctuary.' And So To Bed celebrates bedrooms in all their varied styles. From rustic charm or urban minimalism to Eastern exoticism or contemporary classics, this book provides a creative and informed approach to choosing a bed, setting a mood and assisting a great night's sleep, with practical guidance covering aspects such as frame design and materials, comfort and health and information on how to transform bedrooms with bedding, soft furnishings, lighting and accessories. A varied collection of superb colour photographs, selected from an unusual range of picture archives, illustrate bed and bedroom styles to appeal to a wide range of tastes.
