This book will inspire you to go buy paints, fabrics and get started! Great instructions for the beginner on how to wallpaper, install tile, hang curtains and various painting techniques. Lots of tips to go with each section. The book begins with an overview of colors and decorating basics.

. . . I really like this decorating guide. It's simple and easy to use - has some great tips and gave me several ideas just from flipping through the pages, reading the quick hints and looking at the pictures.
Includes sections on painting, tiling & covering walls, window treatments, covering floors, decorating woodwork and shows some great finishing touches.
The index at the back makes finding what you need simple and the numerous pictures and illustrations gives you an easy reference to follow.

If you want a book to help you get started - this is it.

This book is full of tips that cover choosing colors, painting, wallpaper, faux finishes, tiling, decorating woodwork, painting furniture, covering floors, window treatments, lighting and much more.

Each section has a divider line that makes it easy to find the topic for which you are looking. Every section/paragraph is a tip and there is no space wasted with useless hints or repetitive words.

Highly recommend.

I found the information basic and it's good for that, because certain concepts just don't change. The design ideas though were pretty outdated. I read it once and put it in the book drive bin.
