Customer Reviews

A helpful resource

I found this book to be a valuable resource in planning the lighting for our new home. The pictures are beautiful and packed with ideas. The text is practical and enjoyable to read. I discovered a lot I didn't know about how to use light for function and style.

What else can I say

What they said! This book is very,very,good. Not only do you get excellent information on lighting, but wonderful ideas on contempory decorating. Two for the price of one, it doesn't get any better than that.

Excellent Introduction to lighting

On top of helpful tips and information about different types of lighting and lamps, the books lean heavily on lighting for more modern interiors. It does talk about universal applications in period styles, but I feel the author's interest is more on the modern side. Most of the photos and examples are taken from modern interiors. If you like contemporary and modern flavor, this is a book to miss! Definitely a keeper!

The best book on lighting

I went to a bookstore and spent four hours reading through six different books on lighting design for the home. This is the best book by far, very informative text along with numerous photographs.
