|1000 Decorating Ideas to Inspire You!,
It’s obvious that this original and vibrant book was designed with great craft and care to be useful to the apartment dweller or home-owner who is looking for direction on where to begin in decorating their space. The following styles are highlighted: simple, natural, modern, flea-market, colorful, floral, eclectic and modern glamour style. There are helpful guidelines in how to create each of these styles in a home. In “Attention to Detail” you’ll see accessorizing tips for mirrors, lighting, pillows, flowers and table settings.
The styles represented are fresh and vibrant; this book should appeal to folks who like modern, vintage, flea-market, DIY, urban, retro, cottage, rural, industrial, bohemian, global, mid-century, heirloom, Apartment Therapy, eclectic and any variation on these themes. These are real homes in which you can easily imagine folks living. It is fun to see designers Jonathan Adler & Simon Doonan’s home and Vicente Wolf’s loft in the mix. If you’ve ever wondered how one-room living and sleeping would be, Liz Bauer’s NYC studio apartment in this book (and Billy Baldwin’s from another book) are convincing that you can have a bed in your living room and still look stylish! Loved her space.
This book exceeded my expectations–didn’t really know what to expect regarding how 1000 quality design ideas would fit in one book–and think it will be especially valuable to those who want their home to express them and their personal vision of a lively, lovable and livable space.

|Inspirational!,
Decorate:1,000 Design Ideas for Every Room in Your Home, by Holly Beckerand Joanna Copestick,is filled with great tips from the top designers. That said, it is still accessible for the layman and is a very insprational–and beautiful–read.
The book is divided into sections:
Space Matters: working with the space you have to create rooms that work and flow
Seeking your style: helps you to determine what style is best for you
Room by room: gorgeous pictures of different rooms and how to maximize the look
Attention to detail: how little details make a big difference
As a designer, I always check out new books on interior design. I was very impressed with how this book is filled with great tips and ideas and is accessible to all–not intimidating as many design books can be.
I highly recommend Decorate and would like to recommend another book that I often give my clients: HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENT: BEAUTIFY, DETOXIFY & ENERGIZE YOUR LIFE, YOUR HOME AND YOUR PLANET for more tips on how to create the home of your dreams.
