Customer Reviews

Great for first-time homebuyers

The book goes room by room to help you plan your decorating. Good advice with more detail than you would expect--but don't expect a home renovation manual. This is more like a reminder of basic things to consider when buying and arranging furniture, linens, and appliances, selecting color schemes and styles, etc. The pictures lean toward a contemporary style, but with traditional elements like wood floors. I guess the author understands that the first home for many people is in old buildings. Many of the rooms pictured are small spaces as well.I'm guessing the author is British and many of the resources listed in the back are located in the U.K.

Great for those just starting out

This book is good for those starting out for the first time ( like me!). It gives information on everything from door shutters to major appliances.
