'For more than 30 years, Melissa Penfold has been an authority on styling and decorating homes, both in Australia and overseas and is known as the 'Queen of Style'. In Melissa's new book, Natural Living by Design, she makes the link between interior design and quality of life, showcasing healthy, eco-friendly homes. It's a powerful message but one that doesn't skimp on beauty and inspiration. - Country Style Magazine
The author of the acclaimed Living Well by Design now harnesses the power of design to create a healthy home that not only looks beautiful but also contributes to our quality of life
In her new book, internationally renowned design and style authority Melissa Penfold turns her attention from the basics of interior decorating to demonstrating what a powerful force design can be in boosting our physical and emotional well-being. Each chapter is devoted to an aspect of healthy, life-enhancing design, including "Ease," "Flow," "Light," "Nature," "Timelessness," and "Awe." All underscore the importance of introducing lots of natural light; using natural, non-toxic materials (clay plaster, timber, stone); incorporating nature into our homes, whether through views of the outside world or by filling our interior with plants; creating lots of storage (mess is stress); and recognizing the power that color has on our state of mind. Illustrating each chapter are photographs of beautiful rooms in homes around the world that embody the salutary properties of Natural Living by Design.
