Part memoir and part practical advice, whatever your style is, this book will teach you everything you need to know to decorate your home with confidence and individuality. As well as her four design commandments, Kate reveals the rules of rug layout, explains how to buy a sofa, and shows you how to get the lighting right in every room. Her expert eye and practical approach will help make the most of small spaces, devise ingenious storage solutions and create the perfect zones for relaxation, entertainment and work - sometimes all in the same space.

This book is a must-have for anyone who's moving in or moving on.
