Trade Review
"Comprehensive, inspiring, thought-provoking, and essential." * Midwest Book Review *
"An achievable way to become the design hero of your own home. The world outside our front doors is challengingly multicursal; our homes need to be safe havens. When we refer to the linked concepts presented in this book to design our interiors, we will be well on the path to achieving harmony, which alongside love is at the heart of a happy home." * COVER magazine *
