Customer Reviews

Beautiful illustrations give great ideas!

This book is more for the beginner than advanced BUT it does have great ideas for every room in your home. It covers a wide variety of styles that are sure to please everyone. The book goes room by room, each covered in three sections; ready, set and decorate. The getting "ready" section covers the different styles and materials used in decorating (i.e. fabric and window shapes in the window section) - this section clearly defines where to begin and what can be used to change it. The "set" section explains in further detail what needs to be gathered and decided before you decorate. The last section, "decorate" explains techniques used. If you are interested in ANY of the techniques in this book, you must get additional resources for the "how to" instructions. This book is shy on that BUT it has lots of decorating tips and outlines that will really help any begining decorator.
