Excellent book explaining the basics of design

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is well-written and organized, easy to understand, covers virtually all the 'basics' of interior design - I found it quite useful, I think most anyone would benefit from the information. The book does NOT contain any photographs of home interiors/rooms- the illustrations that accompany the text are quality sketches (the book is printed in monochrome, not color). I think there are certain concepts that would more readily be explained by the diligent use of real room photos - this would help explain concepts such as 'negative space', anchoring and focal point. For a person like myself who has no formal training in home decorating this book is a great place to start; the principles laid out in the book apply to any decorating 'style', be it 'Traditional', 'Contemporary', Scandinavian, etc., etc. Overall a worthwhile purchase/ good value - 2 thumbs up!

I enjoy reading this book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2023

Verified Purchase

I am a logical-brained person who doesn't know how to decorate a room. And this book taught me the rules of thumb that I needed to get started, and begin to understand what an interior designer thinks about to create a beautiful and functional home. It's a really interesting and great how-to book.

Better than my textbook

Just buy this book if you're on the fence. I'm in interior design in college and this is more understandable and detailed than my textbook.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to know more about how to decorate their homes. Author goes beyond providing pictures to explain how professionals look at interior decorating. Lots of great ideas that can be implemented by laypeople!

A great reference book for DIY interior design

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

Rather than show a bunch of example photos (which might not work for your space), you’re given guidelines and general rules for interior design. Want an easy-to-understand primer on color theory? Need to hang a grouping of pictures? Not sure how to arrange still life on a table? Want to know which wall coverings will work well for *your* space? Which types of light work for your unique space? How can you improve a room’s acoustics? Save yourself the overwhelm looking for answers online (good luck with that) and just get this book. I only wish I had this book a couple decades ago when I was buying my first home and trying to make it look and feel “right”.

This is what you need if you are serious about interior design for homes and spaces and can only order one book...great value. A bit simplified but very vast and easy to understand.

Loving This Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

I'm not done with the book yet but I'm really loving the first few chapters. I'm someone who can intuitively put a room together and make it look nice but I want more depth in my interior design and that's what this book is perfect for. It's informative without giving such specific examples of the fundamentals that would make it hard for some people to translate them in any other way than what the pictures show. She gives you enough information where you are learning but still have the freedom to incorporate the concepts in your own way. The people who complain about the book in past reviews are (mean in my opinion...) either well-versed in the fundamentals of interior design or need more of a hand-holding book that will give them a step-by-step on how to style a room. I personally want more out of my home than the run-of-the-mill Magnolia or McGee & Co. trendy feel and this book has helped me expand my creativity and refine my intuitive skills. Highly recommend!

Uninspiring technical manual lacking substance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

I was recommended this book by an interior design blogger I really admire. I am so disappointed by it. It’s a fairly thick handbook but lacks any real content. Most guidance is fairly obvious: symmetry is good; there are many shades of white; different ways to place wall art. There is zero inspiration for designs, it’s pure technical rules. Yet I’m in the middle of decorating a house and when I look up guidance for a particular “problem” I’m looking for options for, nothing of use.

Great for people who get inspired from words and diagrams!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is excellent for those people who enjoy reading and having occasional drawings to understand. The first few pages explain that this book is a book without any photos in because there are too many of them. I was excited to read after this because I felt the same way, which is why I chose this book. The book contains lots of details, lots of tips and lots of variety in how you can decorate your space. I think that its wonderful and is definitely helping me better understand interior design. It talks about, symmetry, flow of movement, colours, styles, lighting, proportions and many more. If you ARE NOT a visual learner and you want pictures, don't buy this book and write a bad review on it because it doesn't have them! Find a different book. But if you enjoy reading and seeing the occasional diagram or drawing like me, this book is excellent for you.

Finally a beautiful yet practical interior design book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

I had high hopes this book and pleased to say it’s delivered! As the author says in the intro so often interior design books are full of gorgeous photos with little explanation of what makes them successful. Often interior design is intuitive but the author has worked hard to demystify a lot of this for the lay person like me. Kate from Mad About the House had a similar intention with her first book which was also useful. However, I think this one is even more successful due to the many diagrams which help to illustrate the wide ranging tips. Thus this has far more substance than the usual pretty interior design coffee table books. I highly recommend it!

Amazing!!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

I can't believe some people complaining about the lack of pictures, seriously?? This book is exactly what it claims to be. This is the most useful book and it will make a huge difference on every level. It really covers everything that I needed to know, I'm so happy that I found this book. It would have taken me ages to gather all this info from Google. For the people who want pretty pictures - just get a magazine!

Not one photo inside

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

I totally fell for the hype and 5 star reviews. I was so disappointed, it’s like a maths/ architectural book in my mind. Drawings of curved chairs, with curved lamps over. Page of drawings how to “karate chop” your cushions! I mean, seriously? This author doesn’t think glossy magazines are necessary, but this? Like something out of the 50’s, I’m now dying to buy some glossy magazines for inspiration. I returned it.
