For anyone who feels the need to create a space that is just for them to restore the soul, heart and mind, this is the book for you. It is filled with not only wonderful pictures showing examples of lots and lots of different Boudoir styles, but also instructions on "How to Achieve the Look". It has detailed instructions on both the fabrics, colors, textures and feel to what is needed to achieve each look. There are more styles of Boudoir than I ever imagined! So many ideas! The book is written in a beautiful poetic style and is so inspiring.

THis book basically covers a variety of styles with which a young woman might want to decorate her bedroom. For example, "Eco Chic", French 17th Century, Modern, Retro etc. Some of the pictures here are really nice, particularly the Dangerous Liaisons and the Boho look, but unfortunately they felt it necessary to include photographs of models lounging in the rooms, something I found a little bit twi and annoying. The other problem is that this book seems targeted at young women, however the decoration suggestions of some of the rooms are quite high budget, for example Louis 15th style chairs, and so might not be appropriate for the average 20year olds income. Otherwise the book is quite good fun and I'm sure fulfils its main purpose...to inspire.

This book is so pretty to look at! I love the romantic and vintage styles in it, but a couple of the others are just ugly! (Red Vinyl in a bedroom is just not my style!) Besides that, the book is nice :)
