Customer Reviews

A must-buy for home design!

This is the best home design book I've come across because it covers such a wide range of styles. It helps you understand the kind of home you would ideally live in and how not to be constrained by one period or another. I make everyone go through the survey part and we always have such interesting discussions about it!

Express yourself

If most interiors books/magazines leave you feeling like someone else is trying to impose their taste on you, this is the book for you. It helps you identify your own personal style (easier said than done I find, especially as most people only get to decorate an apartment once every few years - you have to live with your mistakes). If you've just got one or two whimsical foibles, and a few strong likes or dislikes, it helps you locate these in one of six categories - e.g. pure. maverick, urban. Most of the time - and you can try the exercises on your friends - it gets it exactly right, and, more excitingly, makes you realise things about your taste you never would have guessed otherwise. In short, a lot of fun - and a much cheaper investment than buying something only to discover it doesn't go with any of your other stuff.
