In tune with the current trend for hot colors and strong patterns,
Anna Spiro shows how mixing (colors, patterns, old and new, quirky
and traditional) rather than matching is the key to an interesting
home. In Absolutely Beautiful Things, successful designer Anna
Spiro shows you how to create an interior that's just right for
you. To her, it's all about the mix, not the match, and, with her
help, you'll find beauty in unexpected places. She'll give you the
confidence to put together a layered and very individual home using
elements you love, and make you see your old belongings in a new
light. As well as lavish photographs of rooms Anna has created, she
shares many of her secrets from a life in decorating, gives
practical details on how to work with pattern and color, and
provides a room-by-room guide to furniture choice. 'I always
endeavour to create happy, interesting, layered and uplifting
spaces. That means mixing everything: color and pattern, old and
new, square and round, quirky and conservative. It's the
imperfections and surprises that make a space interesting'.
