Charlotte Moss encourages readers to bring the garden indoors with
ideas for arranging flowers, selecting containers, and placing
blossoms around the house. An inviting cluster of blooms on a guest
room s bedside table, lavish floral displays for parties and
holidays, single stems adding life to any corner of a room Moss has
been photographing her flower arrangements for over a decade. This
book is a celebration of her artistry and a testament to flowers as
part of day-to-day life. From Moss s grander displays in the city
to her more informal and breezy creations at her home in the
country, as well as in the refined interiors of her clients, the
visual result is a chronicle of the myriad ways flowers provide
inspiration indoors and out. Readers will be further motivated as
Moss describes the contributions of past tastemakers: Gloria
Vanderbilt for her ingenious use of floral patterns in her licensed
products, Pauline de Rothschild for her fantastic tablescapes,
Bunny Mellon for her profusive use of topiaries, Constance Spry for
the use of inventive containers and for her groundbreaking
artistry, and Lady Bird Johnson for her embrace of the simple,
exquisite wildflower. With nature as her muse, Moss implores us to
create the backdrop for a life well lived, imbuing every day with
flair, beauty, and elegance.
From office planning and museum concepts to medical practices: this
handbook shows 50 examples from the creative oeuvre of architect
Carsten Wiewiorra. The project collection from his many years of
practice also provides the basis for his teaching as a professor at
the Detmold School of Architecture and Interior Design. The
practical part is supplemented by a richly illustrated introduction
with seven theses on interior design, which deal equally with the
emotional spatial effect, technical implementation and financial
aspects. In addition, the didactic design aid contains execution
plans true to scale, as they have proven themselves in planning and
construction site practice.
___________________________________________ In an increasingly
cramped world, a modern guide to opening up your living space - and
your life - using the ancient principles of feng shui. How do you
place a bed in an awkward room? How can your space help you be more
focused and more productive? How do you set up your room to make
you ready for romantic love? Our homes have an outsized impact on
our wellbeing, so answering these questions is more important than
ever. Luckily, interior design expert and TikTok sensation Cliff
Tan is here to help! Cliff has become an internet sensation with
his videos demonstrating the principles of feng shui from chi
(energy) to the command position - and he has put his wisdom into a
book for the first time. In Feng Shui Modern, Cliff explains the
concepts of feng shui and then uses expert tips and practical
diagrams to show - room by room - how our own styles, colour
palettes and furniture can be used to maximise any environment.
More importantly, Cliff gives you the tools to apply feng shui
yourself, whether you live in a dorm or a five-bedroom house. As
long as you understand the logic, there is no room too challenging,
no problem feng shui can't unravel. From choosing a home to
redecorating old rooms, Feng Shui Modern helps us find harmony in
the every facet of our lives - beginning with where we live them.
So now you know!
