Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

John ★★★★★

The tips in this book are surprisingly practical, like using unexpected objects as decor. I've already flipped through it twice and found a clever way to style my bookshelf.

Mia ★★★★★

I've read a lot of decorating books that just show pretty rooms, but this one actually explains the tricks behind them. The magazine editors' tips on layering pattern and mixing unexpected pieces gave me ideas I used in my own living room the same weekend.

Violet F. ★★★★☆

I picked this up expecting the usual pretty pictures, but the pull-out tricks from working decorators are what kept me reading. Only gripe is the photos are smaller than I'd like for a book this size, but the advice itself earns its shelf space.
