Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen considers the most popular and influential styles of the 20th Century, including Arts and Crafts, Art Deco and the Bauhaus movement. His quest to find the perfect space for living in leads him to the work of Swiss architect Le Corbusier, who believed space and light would improve the quality of life. He concludes by examining the rise of so-called "DIY democracy", where the increased number of homeowners in the 1980s resulted in more opportunities for domestic makeovers.
