Sleeping Spaces: Designs for Rest and Renewal

by Lisa Skolnik

Devoted entirely to the place where human beings spend about one third of their lives - the sleeping space - this guide demonstrates how to create a calming sanctuary from the outside world. A collection of colour photographs illustrates how to decorate and style any area reserved for peace and relaxation, from living rooms to studios, traditional bedrooms to porches. "Sleep secrets" reveal how to enhance the quality of sleep through optimal furniture placement, soundproofing, lighting, room temperature and other details. There is also advice on choosing the right type of bed, mattress and linens.
