5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and Educational, September 9, 2001
By Jessica Klippel (Cincinnati, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
Interiors is a complete review of the interior design process. It covers lighting, furniture, fabric, wall treatments, and more. What makes this book so versatile is it's flexibility in being able to be used by someone interested in the profession, as well as those just casually interested in design. If you're building a new home, redecorating your current home, or interested in exploring the profession this book will prove incredibly helpful. It will give you the vocabulary and the how-to for going about a number of design problems. I would actually recommend the newer addition (which is more up-to-date), but can't write the review in that space yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Updated Fourth Edition of a Classic, March 22, 2006
Now updated to it's fourth edition, Interiors has been brought up to date to keep up with the continually changing contemporary trends in design. These trends include the new trend in sustainable design. This includes discussion on things like bamboo flooring, which is completely sustainable, and fibers such as polylactic acid, also completely sustainable. And it covers energy efficiency in the new appliances and lighting. The third major point in the new edition is considerable discussion on the Americans with Disabilities Act getting access to facilities that they need. The book is suitable for use in a college level design course, or would be extremely helpful for anyone decorating a new home. It would of course be extremely helpful for anyone.

The book is supurbly illustrated with hundreds of color photographs. Indeed how else could you show the elements of design.

Most of the book is on residential buildings, as there are far more of them than there are commercial. The commercial comments are usually included at the end of a section and clearly labeled Nonresidential Considerations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally Encompassing, March 21, 2007
By VJ "thing2202" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This is a great book to study the basics of interior design, and I have referenced it many times, long after that first class. Highly recommended!

I would have rather bought this book new, because it was not accurately described. "Some" highlighting translates to "completely highlighted and written all over."
