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.

About the Author:
Lisa Skolnik is a regular contributor to the Chicago Tribune on design, entertaining, style, and family issues, and a city editor for Metropolitan Home magazine. Her work has also appeared in such publications as Metropolitan Home magazine, Interiors magazine, Woman’s Day, Good Housekeeping, Fodor’s Chicago guidebook and more. She is the author of fourteen books on design.

Skolnik lives and works in Chicago, where she has plenty of first-hand experience with storage issues thanks to the piles of possessions she has accrued with the help of her husband, Howard, and four children, Caroline, Sasha, Anastasia, and Theodora.

From Booklist:
The bed, once the most private place in a home, now goes public, thanks to the insight of design-journalist Skolnik. The text serves as the backdrop for some rather special sleeping spots, and provides tips and data not to snooze over. Most of the pretty pictures reflect an uncluttered, serene ambience in whites and pastels, with an occasional touch of wooden tones and black. The hints about sleep and decorating are somewhat commonplace; the notes about our biological needs to nap and the spread of insomnia have been well documented in other media. Great at inspiring design ideas to dream about. Barbara Jacobs
