Filling a huge information gap on shop-bought natural and not-so-natural products, The Natural Paint Decorator is an indispensable handbook for beginning as well as expert do-it-yourselfers who want to live as naturally as possible in beautiful, contemporary interiors.

Simple recipes use readily available ingredients to produce paints in a wide range of colours for floors, walls and furniture. Along with inspirational photographs and design advice for every room in the house, there is step-by-step guidance in preparing and applying homemade paints.
