Nina Campbell’s Decorating Secrets by Nina Campbell and Helen Chislett

Nina Campbell’s Decorating Secrets by Nina Campbell and Helen Chislett is an elegant and highly visual guide to creating sophisticated, comfortable and beautifully coordinated interiors. Nina Campbell is internationally known for her distinctive approach to interior decoration, combining traditional influences with colour, pattern, texture and a relaxed sense of luxury. This book translates that professional design experience into practical ideas that can be adapted for the home.

Rather than presenting interior design as a rigid set of rules, Campbell demonstrates how individual decorative elements can work together to create rooms with atmosphere and personality. Nina Campbell’s Decorating Secrets explores the use of colour, fabrics, furnishings, accessories, lighting and decorative details, providing inspiration for readers seeking to refresh an individual room or rethink the style of an entire home.

Lavishly illustrated with photography by Jan Baldwin, Nina Campbell’s Decorating Secrets offers readers an opportunity to study professionally designed interiors while learning how apparently small choices can have a major influence on the finished appearance of a space. Campbell’s characteristic mixture of classic and contemporary ideas makes the book particularly useful for readers who prefer interiors that remain attractive beyond short-lived decorating trends.

Originally published in 2000, this 2004 Cico Books paperback edition is an attractive addition to a collection of interior design, architecture and lifestyle books. Nina Campbell’s Decorating Secrets will appeal to home decorators, interior-design students, collectors of design publications and admirers of Nina Campbell’s influential English decorating style.
