Katherine Sorrell demonstrates the art of creating a home where old and new live happily side by side. She shows how to add interest to your home with unexpected or individual pieces. The main part of the book, Spaces, takes you through every room in the house, showing how to combine objects to create a home that is original, comfortable, practical and stylish. 'Getting it Right' provide hints and advice, such as choosing larger items with classic lines and understated colours and introducing fun and colour. The Elements section looks at the main ingredients of the Old & New look, from battered leather sofas to 1950s pressed-glass bowls. Forget old-fashioned notions of 'good taste' and approach the decoration of your home with a spirit of adventure and imagination.
