Good print, good quality good for those with design ideas
by Eliza-Mariah
Love this book! It is not a fluffy, coffee table book with lots of glossy photographs, it is an intelligent book for people who want to learn how to approach a design project and make it their own.
So often the approach to interior design is to copy photographs showing other people’s work. This book empowers the reader to create their own design and to make it work within their own setting. It gives basic principles of design to use as a guide, explains how common mistakes occur and shows how to create a harmoniously designed house.
I am due to move house later this year so I am using this book to learn about interior design so that when I start the project, I will have a firm foundation of knowledge to build upon.
If I have a criticism – and it is a tiny one – it is that the section relating interior design to architectural designs of houses, would have been more useful had the houses used as guides been British houses. However, all that means os that I will have to do some more work and research British architecture myself. At least I can use the information in the book to work out what kind of information I need to find.
On the whole, a wonderful book, it will soon be tattered – a sure sign of a useful book!

A really useful book to read. No fancy photos but instead detailed diagrams. If you want a pretty coffee table book this isn’t for you but if you want an informative guide to designing your interior it’s perfect!
by Sarah
Love love love this book. Great tips and tricks for functionality and style in a home. Encourages using what you have and how to style rather than following trends. Useful book to have in any home old or new! Plus it looks great on my shelf also.

I haven’t read the book, but my girlfriend who loves interior design likes the book.

Very easy to read and lots of amazing tips
by Jenny
Less of a handbook, more of some woman’s opinion. Which is too subjective…
Doesn’t really go into the theory of design, way too simplistic, and definitely not a handbook!
It’s a pretty cushion-fluffer coffee table book.

I’m only about a third of the way through as I wanted to read it cover to cover but I see it being a book I’ll go back to time and time again for advice. Love it. Great diagrams
