“Heavy on ideas...elaborately illustrated...perfect for those would-be decorators who like to look at lots of pictures. Remarkably crisp and invariably eye-catching, the color photos make up the bulk of the book. They illustrate more than 1,000 decorating projects...this book sparks the imagination.”—Booklist. “Good advice...with information and tips on every aspect of decorating.”—Country Accents.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Filled with photographs of every room of the home, this book provides less practical information on decorating than would be expected from the title. The illustrations will give experienced decorators ideas on various ways to accent and decorate the home. Interspersed are brief instructions on various painting and sewing projects. If there is a strong interest in interior decorating this will give more examples than many sources, but be sure to supplement it with some good do-it-yourself project books, such as the Paint, reviewed above.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best decorating book out there, bar none!,
By Meg "Livin la vida loca in Maine!" (Caribou, ME, United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Ultimate Decorating Book: Over 1,000 Decorating Ideas For All The Rooms In Your Home (Paperback)
I love to decorate, but as you probably know most decorating books cover just one subject, one room, or one style of decorating. This book truly covers everything and anything. It covers the hows, the whys, the color theory, and presents many pictures of beautiful rooms. Whenever I'm stumped for what to do in a room, I pick up this book and leaf through it. I have not been let down even once. There's always an idea I can adapt to whatever I'm looking for at that particular moment. I would highly recommend this book. It's a bit big, and might seem overwhelming to some, but don't try to read it all in one day. Leaf through it gingerly, or fast forward to a particular room you are wanting to work in. You will be inspired to try somethings, but always adapt them to what you would enjoy in your own home. In the summer months, my husband and I will be re-doing our 100 year old kitchen, and this book has already given me plenty of ideas to work with. Pick this book up, before all others. You can always narrow your decorating focus as you go on, and buy books on that focus. This book gives you everything and more.

I love this book,
By Lins (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Decorating Book: Over 1,000 Decorating Ideas For All The Rooms In Your Home (Paperback)
I am young, and just recently married. We just bought our first home and I had no idea where to begin. I got this book as a gift and I have loved everything about it. It has trully helped me decorate my home into something that I am proud of. I love that it gives an overview of lots of things like curtains, floors, painting techniques, and color. If you are decorating your home for the first time, or you just need some ideas to make some updates I highly recommend this book.
