By definition, home is a place to share, bet that with family or friends. Yet however gregarious our lifestyles, we all need solitary spaces away to work, relax or unwind after the stresses of the day and Private Places is the book that allows you to create these areas. Part one of the book looks at transforming traditional rooms through furnishing and layout. Part two shows how to carve out quiet spots from unseen places such as corridors or landings. The final part looks at more radical options for finding peace outdoors such as garden gazebos or balconies. The book is packed with evocative pictures and practical advice and shows us how to create private places within our home, however hectic our pace of life.
