Living With Pictures

'Living with Pictures' presents a wealth of imaginative ideas in which pictures can be used to create an atmosphere and define styles. It also shows the ways in which the design of a room can, in turn, enhance the quality of a picture. There are many alternatives to simply hanging a picture on the wall, from the simplicity of a single, unframed canvas propped on a table to the careful grouping of a picture with chosen household objects to form a still life. Topics covered include: creating a variety of moods with pictures; introducing colour and texture; groupings and sequences. A practical section includes a guide to framing and hanging, and offers advice on care and maintenance.
