Terence Conran has always believed that objects - and surroundings - that are plain, simple and useful are the key to easy living. By being practical and performing well over time, they are as much the antidote to superficial styling as they are to the shoddy and second-rate. Applied to the home as a whole, this discerning approach results in interiors that are effortlessly stylish, confident and timeless, with plenty of room for the expression of personal taste.

Plain Simple Useful is organized according to the main activities that take place at home. Inspirational interiors, many of which are Conran's own, and a number of projects designed by him exclusively for this book, provide all the guidance you need to tailor-make your own storage. The book also features iconic examples of classic designs that will enhance any home, as well as a peek behind the closed doors of those well-ordered cupboards, larders and other stowing spaces that contribute so much to easy living.

《朴实简单但有用》根据在家中发生的主要活动编排。鼓舞人心的内饰（其中大部分来自Conran自己的家）以及由他为本书专门设计的一些项目，为您量身定制自己的储物空间提供了所有指导。本书还展示了可以改善任何家居环境的经典设计的**代表作，并瞥了一眼那些井井有条的壁柜、橱柜和其他储藏空间门后的世界，这些空间对轻松生活起了很大的作用。
