Embrace simple layouts, gentle light, clean lines.Floor plans, color photos, expert commentary from the designers reflects today’s desire for simplicity and calm.Zen interiors are a reflection of the modern urge to simplify, to pare down, to slow down. This book features serene, uncluttered havens from the outside world, created through the central concepts of Zen: simplicity, inner calm, harmony. In home design, this means simple layouts, subtle light, calming tones, and clean lines. Original floor plans and rich full-color photography, plus detailed commentary from the designers, show the process of creation and the final results. Zen Interiors will produce a sense of inner calm in any architect or designer.
