Borders, corners and special features can enhance and transform rooms in a surprising way, offering dramatic focal points and amusing detail - and they are so easy to do! You do not need to live in a large house - often a small design can have a strong impact - a bunch of keys strategically placed on an empty wall, or a colourful mug hanging on a hook in the kitchen.



Basic skills are explained in full; they progress from ragging, sponging and colourwashing surfaces to creating form and building up three dimensional images. The projects are fun, offering a variety of decorative ideas and designs for the beginner or for those seeking inspiration; this book is perfect for anyone interested in adding a personal touch to their home.
