From Publishers Weekly
The decorating and architectural suggestions in this colorful book are original and as exciting as promised in the title. Form definitely follows function: different activitiesresting, eating, bathing, workingdictate the organization of the book, portraying designs for areas of the home devoted to each. There is discussion of lighting, heating, storage and ornamentation, and attention is given to such details as renovating doorways, windows and stairways as architectural features, creating separate areas in a room by varying the design of the floor, and housing special collections. The array of decor possibilities ranges from a simple, elegant Japanese-style room that uses surrounding trees as a backdrop and encourages peacefulness, to a cluttered library/study that also does duty as a dining room. Tasteful and inspiring, this book is bursting with ideas. Szenasy is former senior editor of Interiors.

From Library Journal
Szenasy approaches design from the standpoint of function. Stunning color photos illustrate designs for entries, corridors, and sleeping and working areas. Multi-purpose rooms flow into each another, creating warm, livable spaces which are also innovative and exciting. Post-modern, Fifties revival, and New Wave designs are prominently featured. A final chapter, on shopping, offers a delightful sampling of contemporary fabrics and furnishings and instructions on where to obtain them. A good selection for public library interior design collections. Susan B. Hagloch, Tuscarawas Cty. P.L., New Philadelphia, Ohio
