Description
Who hasn't had that feeling that something needs to change ASAP? And by something, we mean nothing less than our daily environment—the space immediately around us: our apartment, condo, or house. The reasons we need a change are legion: we might want to paint the boring white kitchen walls a more interesting colour, or get frustrated at all the time we spend burrowing around in the back of the closet looking for something to wear. Or maybe there is no storage in the bathroom, so what should we do with all the towels and shower supplies?
Now you can get all the help you need from a professional interior designer. Fay Markopoulou develops customised solutions for her clients that redefine how space is used and take advantage of available options.
Modern Living offers:
- 10 do-it-yourself projects to optimise and decorate your space
- Creative instructions from interior design professional Fay Markopoulou
- Create your own custom solutions that make your life easier and better
Featuring 200 colour photos, this resource is both inspirational and practical.
AUTHOR: Fay Markopoulou began working in real estate in 1999. Because she had originally studied interior design, she also started designing kitchens, bathrooms, and furniture. Soon, Fay expanded her work to include every room in the home.
