Interior designer Kit Kemp’s Design Secrets will help you add character and style to an interior to make it your own. She shows how, with imagination and daring, you can make any interior feel fresh and inviting.
The back cover blurb reads: “With clever tips on how to hang art to tell a story and designing your own bespoke headboard, to the art of dressing a table and the power of paint, Kit reveals creative ways to bring charm and character to any living space, so that they are a joy to be in. Featuring practical and very helpful do’s and don’ts, as well as playful interior craft projects to try at home, Design Secrets is an approachable and lively guide to creating truly once-off spaces that you can call your own.”
Kit, an international acclaimed British author, interior designer and founder of ten Firmdale Hotels situated in London and New York, expresses her wish that Design Secrets will help you reappraise your surroundings in an artistic and colourful way – and to remember that the thoughtfulness and character of a lovingly made object is worth a million times more than an accessory that has no meaning or soul. She dedicates her book “to all who suffered in 2020, especially our good friends in the world of hospitality”.
A sturdy hard cover, seven chapter book of 272 pages, Design Secrets is a piece of art in itself and makes a beautiful coffee table adornment. Simon Brown is responsible for most of the amazing full colour photos that make this book so special. Anyone interested in interior design will benefit from the wisdom Kit imparts to her readers.
As a bonus, there is a hand illustrated colouring-in book at the back for you to play around with your creativity. You can also view an extract from the book on how to create a statement Kit Kemp headboard here.
