Time spent at home is precious—and more and more, families want their homes to allow for comfortable living, both inside ad out. Taunton's Family Home Idea Book focuses on spaces that work for all kinds of families. You'll find large rooms that invite everyone in to congregate, as well as smaller rooms that provide space for independent activities for different family members.

Authors Julie Stillman and Jane Gitlin bring a wealth of innovative ideas home, with more than 400 color photos, drawings, and sidebars designed to spark creative solutions to everyday, and constantly changing, needs in a family's home.
