Revised Content:
Emmy Award-winning Christopher Lowell firmly believes that if one can put together an outfit, they are already overqualified to decorate a room. As the most popular and colorful personality on the Discovery Channel, Lowell now brings his proven Seven Layers of Design system to readers in a lively blend of design theory and hands-on advice for do-it-yourself projects.
In this book, Lowell, just like on his program, infuses his humor, wit, and charm into a host of decorating projects and ideas, making them simple, fun, and rewarding. Christopher Lowell's Seven Layers of Design aims to solve decorating dilemmas by encouraging readers to look at a room piece by piece, layer by layer, from the floor up. By following this process, home decorators can avoid costly disappointments and learn inexpensive tricks for changing the personality of a room.
Lowell's colorful presentation of the Seven Layers (Paint & Architecture, Installed Flooring, Upholstered Furniture, Accent Fabrics, Non-upholstered Furniture, Accessories, and Plants & Lighting) lays the groundwork for simple yet stunning home design. He demonstrates crucial design principles, such as the importance of color as the foundation of a room, the pitfalls of decorating a room around a favorite upholstery fabric, and the benefits of creating fabulous fakes using paint and plywood. Lowell also dispenses valuable advice, such as why one should never paint a ceiling white and how to effectively deal with an interior designer.
Each chapter of Christopher Lowell's Seven Layers of Design walks readers through room makeovers with dramatic before, during, and after photos, solving a variety of design problems. From transforming a kitchen within the constraints of existing walls and appliances to creating an efficient home office that still welcomes houseguests, Lowell's expertise shines through. Readers will also learn how to reduce clutter by making use of previously untapped space and bring romance into any room of the house.
In addition to these room makeovers, the book provides an abundance of tips, secrets, and shortcuts for tackling stylish projects, such as a Deco bathroom mirror, faux-finished kitchen cabinets, and a chic chaise lounge made from plywood. Best of all, most of these projects can be completed for under $100, making them accessible to readers of all budgets.
