A beautifully illustrated journey through palaces, manors and houses. From the rock-cut cities of Jordan and the villas of ancient Romans, through medieval townspeople's houses, Versailles of Louis XIV or the delicate structures of Japanese houses, to modern interiors full of designer objects or furniture from Ikea.

"I worked for many years in interior design magazines, so I often had the opportunity to see apartments inspired by old eras. They ranged from luxurious, luxurious interiors to modern concrete houses. Over the centuries, people have had different understandings of good taste. Sometimes they preferred more modest interiors, sometimes richer ones, but "They were never indifferent to what they surrounded themselves with. They even left paintings on the walls of caves - an undeniable trace of the first decorations. That's why I will take you through different eras to show how people lived in the past - because our four corners had different faces."
