5.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas for real living rooms., October 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Living Rooms: Stylish Room Solutions (101 Rooms) (Paperback)

This is a great little book. It's small ... only measures 6" x 5.5" and only half an inch thick, but it has a wonderful selection of pictures of rooms in all styles. All of the rooms are sized like you would find in a regular home -> too often design books feature fabulous large rooms that most of us don't have. I don't think anyone could flick through this book and not find rooms that they like. It's great for showing different styles, but also shows great colour combinations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Variety of Rooms!, July 30, 2005

I really like this book, I browsed through it (the UK version) when I was visiting over there, and bought it over here when I came back to save on my luggage weight. I like the fact that it is small in size (to bring with you to the stores), but it is also why I gave it 4 stars. The thing that I enjoy most about books of this type, is the ability to look at large pictures of the rooms and then have a breakdown of them so that you can figure out how to create the look for yourself. Most of the rooms are not what I imaginge for myself, but it is a great variety that will appeal to a broad audience.

This review is from: 101 Living Rooms: Stylish Room Solutions (101 Rooms) (Paperback)

I am renovating a deluxe apartment in the U.S. and bought ten books for design ideas. I flipped through the 101 living rooms in this book and saw no colors, fabrics or other design elements that gave me any ideas. Everything seemed too busy by far.

The problem may be me. Note that two other reviewers gave this book high marks. The British author has published many titles on home design. I recall that I had a similar problem with menus in London restaurants. I guess British food and British home design are just not my cups of tea. (I don't drink tea either.)
