Description
Setting up Home is the definitive guide for people on the move and is ideal for the first-time buyer. The task of planning, designing, furnishing and equipping a home is daunting in the extreme, whether you're starting from scratch or moving somewhere new. Even if you don't need to undertake major redecorating work, such as knocking down walls or installing a new bathroom or kitchen, making your home the way you want it to be from getting the ergonomics right to ensuring the curtains and carpets don't clash-still requires a great deal of thought, planning, prioritizing and budgeting.
This essential one-stop sourcebook covers subjects as diverse as room planning, repairs, interior design and storage solutions as well as including invaluable advice about what you need to buy first and how to get the best value for your money. Both highly practical and visual, Setting up Home will take the anxiety out of moving house, with reference boxes, care instructions and environmental issues a regular feature in every chapter, in addition to basic equipment lists and buying guides to an extensive range of household items.
With clear, incisive text written by Lorrie Mack, a highly experienced interiors journalist and stylist, Setting up Home is informative, accessible and packed with imaginative decorating ideas, useful tips and sensible suggestions. New home-buyers should make this book their first purchase.
