This handsomely illustrated volume will inspire anyone longing for
a quiet corner for contemplation. Part One explores how traditional
rooms may be furnished, laid out, and decorated to optimize a peaceful
ambience. Part Two provides advice on carving out quiet spots from
"unseen" spaces like hallways or landings, or creating new ones
through attic conversion. More radical options include building a
getaway garden gazebo or a balcony with a view. Much has been written
on how or where to relax, but this essential reference demonstrates
how to create your new private oasis within the home by fully
exploiting the potential of hidden spaces, even in the tiniest of
rooms. Evocative pictures combine with practical advice to show you
how to create your own "private place."
