By Victoria G. (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foundations of Interior Design (Hardcover)
If you wish to pursue a successful career as an interior designer, or you are keen to develop your interest in this field, my advice to you is to buy this book. Buy it, read it, and make it your good friend! Whatever your background, this course will encourage your individual creativity and help you to explore and further your own design ideas.
I am a student in The Metropolitan Institute of Interior Design, a career changer with English as a second language. I have read some interior design educational books before, but none of them gave me as much knowledge, nor inspired me to approach the subject with as much enthusiasm and passion as this book by Susan Slotkis.

This review is from: Foundations of Interior Design (Hardcover)
Susan Slotkis' Foundations of Interior Design is a gem of a book. More than just the basics, Ms. Slotkis' book includes critical details: from the historic backgrounds of furniture styles to color theory to the essentials of running an interior design business. And, the photographs and illustrations--many from Ms. Slotkis' own work as a practicing interior designer--support the concepts presented in the text. This book is a must for everyone who is passionate about interior design and wants to learn more.

I took a class at FIT with Susan Slotkis for which she required this book. I gave me such a great introduction to interior design and its components that it definitely had an impact in my life. Now I'm studying Interior Design and I love it. This book is my bible. thanks Susan!
