The Language of Home explores the idea that a finely-tuned symphony of form and function opens up a true dialogue with our home, allowing us to fully connect with the spaces we inhabit. Whether old or new, historical or contemporary, period or post-war, large or compact, every home operates to its best potential once the often-overlooked basics – from focal points to furniture arrangements – are given due consideration. Every chapter throws the spotlight on a different element, from exploring the importance of light, to introducing colour and how to elevate a home's unique features. This book unites inspiring photography provided by some of Britain's leading designers and photographers with incisive writing that breaks down the key tenets behind homes that are both beautiful and practical.
