Derek Patmore was one of the great design journalists from the early 20th Century. This was his most personal book. In it, he eschews theory to offer practical but chic suggestions capable of being “understood by the average woman or man about to decorate their home.” First published in 1936, this 1948 edition was revised to reflect post-war sensibility. His advice is supplemented by color renderings of the various rooms in his home, as well as with b & w photographs.
