Book Description

October 1998
Comfortable, livable, and beautiful, with scaled-down possessions and the clutter eliminated: that's simple style. Hidden underneath all the books, magazines, computer equipment, toys, gadgets, and knick-knacks scattered around your house, there's wonderful design potential struggling to get out. Uncover the possibilities through these lavish photographs of warm, inviting interiors and smart suggestions for shelving, furniture, soft furnishings, and more.
 
Room by room, from the bathroom to the home office, you'll see how carefully planned and what a calm retreat it's supposed to be. With great storage solutions (like an armoire that cleverly hides a TV, VCR, and more than a few other appliances), a wise use of corners, ideas for creating unity through color, striking ways of enlivening dead spaces, and fabulous lighting fixtures, every inch will look perfect!

5.0 out of 5 stars A sterling book., October 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Simple Style: The Elegant, Uncluttered Home (Hardcover)
"Simple Style" is a sterling guide to creating a graceful and uncluttered home. Thankfully, Lisa Skolnik and Rima A Suqi don't cater to cold, minimalistic decorative ideas. For them, if a room--no matter how elegantly uncluttered--doesn't have warmth, something is missing. In concise and inviting prose, the authors detail the various way in which a room can be practical and welcoming, without being fussy. Their innovative ideas include allowing no single element (be it an elaborate bedstead or a tapestry-covered chair) to overwhelm a room, and using intricate architectual deails and subtle colors on furnishings to gracefully "tie" several items in a room together. Skolnik and Suqi cover every room in the house--from living room and kitchen to closet and home office. They even show you how porches, foyers, patios, and exterior doors can make stronger first impressions. The photographs are simply matchless. They are, at once, large, sharp, colorful, and instructive. And they fill every page in this thoroughly-laudable volume.
