Kerry Skinner describes quick and easy interior decoration techniques for all ability levels, together with the use of other materials such as paper, muslin and canvas in a series of 30 complete home projects. Walls, floors, furniture, accessories and outdoor spaces are covered.

The first part of the book explores the basics of colour theory, lighting and space in the home and then introduces the materials, equipment and techniques needed - paint is very flexible and produces the most instant results, but paper, card, muslin, calico, canvas and other materials can also be used in simple ways to make exciting changes to the structure, texture and form of furniture or a room. The 30 projects take elements of the home - walls, floors, woodwork, furniture, accessories and outdoor spaces - and present step-by-step projects for decorating each in new and colourful ways. Kerry believes that everyone has the ability to transform objects, furniture and environments in an expressive and highly individual way. She demonstrates how to compile ideas boards and samples in order to pinpoint favourite colours and create colour schemes. Each of her projects is an inspiring and original work in its own right: collectively, they build into a complete course in how to decorate your home with paint in a unique and personal way.

Kerry Skinner trained as a fine artist before working in theatre and window display and setting up her own interior design company, Rare Creations. She is the author of The Paper Decorator and The Gilded Room, and her work has appeared in numerous magazines, including Inspirations and Country Homes & Interiors. She has made numerous television appearances demonstrating decorative effects. Kerry lives in Clapham, London.
