It's obvious that this original and vibrant book was designed with great craft and care to be useful to the apartment dweller or home-owner who is looking for direction on where to begin in decorating their space. The following styles are highlighted: simple, natural, modern, flea-market, colorful, floral, eclectic and modern glamour style. There are helpful guidelines in how to create each of these styles in a home. In "Attention to Detail" you'll see accessorizing tips for mirrors, lighting, pillows, flowers and table settings.
The styles represented are fresh and vibrant; this book should appeal to folks who like modern, vintage, flea-market, DIY, urban, retro, cottage, rural, industrial, bohemian, global, mid-century, heirloom, Apartment Therapy, eclectic and any variation on these themes. These are real homes in which you can easily imagine folks living. It is fun to see designers Jonathan Adler & Simon Doonan's home and Vicente Wolf's loft in the mix. If you've ever wondered how one-room living and sleeping would be, Liz Bauer's NYC studio apartment in this book (and Billy Baldwin's from another book) are convincing that you can have a bed in your living room and still look stylish! Loved her space.
This book exceeded my expectations--didn't really know what to expect regarding how 1000 quality design ideas would fit in one book--and think it will be especially valuable to those who want their home to express them and their personal vision of a lively, lovable and livable space.

I won't lie. I buy a LOT of books. Home Decor books are a favorite. This one has earned a spot on my coffee table (a spot I reserve for the best of the best). Buy it. Read it. Absorb the ideas. I think you'll love it. I know I did. :)

Not the kind of book for Kindle.
Books like this one are for holding in your lap and flipping through the pages. Difficult for the Kindle. The Kindle is more for straight reading.

Not fantastic
Would have been better in hard copy, not on my kindle. A lot of white on white seems to be the thing in this book. But it did a few good ideas. Read more

It's Okay
Most of the reviews seemed to love it, it just didn't help me much. I guess most of the rooms just weren't my style, but it does have some good ideas in it.

Beginners Book
I thought it was more for those who don't normally decorate. I didn't find it as useful since this is what I enjoy doing.

Not Easy To Read
Difficult book to read electronically. None of the descriptions matched up with what picture was on the page as you read.

My first ebook on decorating.
This book is actually not bad at all, but I found that I really wanted a more hands on experience with a decorating book, so I could flip back and forth more easily, and maybe even... Read more

Lots of good but not great ideas. There were pictures that displayed lovely arrangements but nothing I hadn't seen before.
