Transform dull, uninspired spaces into warm, inviting rooms, brimming with personality and originality, without changing any structural elements. Whether your living space is a designer original, a suburban tract house, or a cookie-cutter apartment, it's the finishing touches that make a house a home, a home a showplace, and a garden or patio a source of endless pleasure. Lavish color photographs demonstrate how even the simplest detail brings depth and character to a space. Add warmth to a kitchen by hanging dried herbs or flowers from ceiling beams; capture a touch of whimsy with high-wire sculptures performing below a faux painted sky; bring the sense of a jungle clearing to an outdoor room with scattered earthen jugs, tiger-striped pillows. Just remember, the magic is in the details.
