A Practical Guide to Homemaking offers readers practical knowledge on a range of different aspects of homemaking from interior design to practical guidance on household tasks such as laundering clothes, cooking, cleaning and organising the house. There is a chapter on home maintenance with advice on decorating, painting and tiling, alongside information on how to deal with home repairs.

Here's what readers have to say about this book....
A lovely book, packed with information on how to design, organise, and maintain your home, and how to effectively maintain a household budget. There is even a section which takes you through the steps for moving home. For example, a section on bathroom design discusses effective placement of mirrors and lighting to evoke a feeling of spaciousness, tips to avoid peeling paint, and best ways to prevent slippery surfaces and musty atmospheres. If you love organising your home, there are inspiring ideas and tips on storage and display; and inexpensive advice on maintaining a clean and healthy living environment. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to be inspired to run a safe, happy, and healthy home.
