Customer Reviews

Inspirational . .

I have been a fan of Betsy Speert for many years. Every time I saw something in a magazine that caught my eye, it was her work. Her amazing use of patterns is inspirational! And I love how she mixes old and new together or finds new uses for vintage things. I'd love to go thrift shopping with this girl! The only thing I have to complain about in this book is that she didn't use pictures from her designs ONLY! This woman needs to have her own television show, blog, magazine or more books - preferably all of the above:) You will love this book - I promise.

Great Book!

I highly recommend this book. This is a must. It's easy to read and looks great on my coffee table. She makes it easy so you can't go wrong. I hope to read more books by this designer.

Incredibly useful

Beautiful book with lots of clever but practical ideas for chosing and combining colors and patterns.

How to combine patterns

Betsy Speert is my very favorite designer. I read EVERY word of this book. It is my Bible! After reading this book, you will know how to layer pattern on pattern. Thank you Betsy!

Elegant and very informative oeuvre

This is one of the most impressive presentations I've seen of beautifully designed rooms and clearly explained basic design principles. I enjoyed and learned from every minute I spent looking at this book! Especially learned quite a bit about jazzy color combinations. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next volume. Such a handsome edition. It looks great on my coffee table.
