Updating and inhabiting an old building brings both pleasures and challenges. How do you show off the best features of a home built for another age while configuring it for modern living? In "Old House New Home", Ros Byam Shaw combines the expertise of designers and homeowners with her own experience of renovating old properties. She looks at the ways we can furnish and arrange an old building to suit today's needs, whether it is a country cottage, a city row house, or a converted factory. The book is divided into key styles: Period Piece, Urban Chic, Rustic, Recycled Spaces, and Country House, while information at the end of each style offers ideas for furniture, lighting, fabrics, colours, and finishing touches. This book will motivate you to transform your old house into an elegant new home.
