Good designers listen to and learn from their clients so they can interpret their brief in the best possible way. A great designer takes all the client’s needs on board and inspires them with a design the client could only dream about.

This is a high quality, practical interior design book, which takes its inspiration from the themes and moods of the Australian landscape. It also includes beautiful photographs of Nexus Designs interiors, with the story of how that particular design solution evolved, as well as hints and tips to creating your own stunning interiors.

The Making of a House

admin — Tue, 07 May 2013 06:48:08 +0000

The Making of a House takes you on a journey through a typical house, from first impressions at the front door, and then through each room for ideas on how to simulate effects and put together a theme. The result is comfortable rooms that are well lived in.

As designers, Janne and Harley are aware that no two families share the same requirements, so the book offers a range of possible options for decoration and design. Though different, the philosophy of each is the same: your ideas and personality must shine through. Forget the rules, and think about how you want to use the rooms: is it for work, sanctuary, family or a combination?

The Making of a House is published by Hardie Grant Books (2003, 2005)
