Book Description

September 22, 2001
Design Diary: Innovative Interiors provides a first-person "tour" through several stunning homes, apartments, and showhouse rooms created by one of America's leading interior designers, Noel Jeffrey. His unique ability to complement architectural features with tasteful furnishings, daring color, and unusual juxtapositions has made him the designer of choice among a noteworthy clientele-- and is highlighted in this spectacular volume.

Each home in the book is considered in an overview, then explored room to room, providing an expert's point of view and approach to interior design. The book reveals Jeffrey's ingenious process through gorgeous four-color photographs, detailed captions about the colors and furnishings chosen for each setting, and helpful design tips. Also included is a chapter on finishing touches, the details-- or accessories-- that complete a room's décor. Two gatefolds enable readers to examine two of the homes in the book in depth, from lighting to fabric choices.

Design Diary is a beautiful, inspiring volume that is an excellent sourcebook for those in search of decorating ideas for creating elegant, livable spaces as well as for professional interior designers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, September 9, 2004
By 
This review is from: Design Diary: Innovative Interiors (Hardcover)
Anyone hoping to find innovative design ideas here is going to be extremely disappointed. The photos look dated, very '80s inspired. Mr. Jeffrey has not added any original thought or decorating ideas to the text and the book certainly has no practical solutions, not that I would want to decorate my house in a style that looks so dated. There wasn't a single picture in this book which impressed or inspired me.

DISAPPOINTING. Don't waste any money or time on this book.

This review is from: Design Diary: Innovative Interiors (Hardcover)
I never write reviews but had to on this one.
This book was an incredible journey through different periods and styles. I appreciate Mr. Jeffrey's sense of design and style. Smart without fussiness, Clean without being cold and then the amazing antiques and art work. Mr. Jeffrey's rooms are like musical masterpieces, harmonious and never tiring!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fabulous, December 20, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Design Diary: Innovative Interiors (Hardcover)
This book is just what you would expect from the very talented Noel Jeffrey: beautiful, livable, informative. I've always admired Mr. Jeffrey's work--especially the show houses he has done--and this puts in one place all of his creativity and innovation. Not stuffy, this is a trained and casual elegance; what I think most of us are trying to achieve in our houses. I don't want to live in a museum; I want to live in an environment. With his versatile view of design--Noel Jeffrey offers here about 25 different options.

This is a great read and a great buy.
