Creative Interior Design: A Complete Guide to Designing and Decorating Your Home

"Divided into three main sections, this guide is never too wordy and offers a multitude of illuminating photographs. The first section concentrates on the basic decoration of a room, using color, texture, and patterns. Next comes a review of interior decorating styles showing typical wallcoverings, windows, and furniture that define each. The last portion contains how-to information, with instructions ranging from making curtains to the proper hanging of a picture. Essential."--LJ -Starred review. 384 pages (all in color), 8 1/4 x 11 1/2.

Customer Review: Creative Interior Design

Very good handbook for basics in interior decorating from color schemes to picture hanging. The photography is inspiring and beautiful.

Customer Review: Good basic decorating book

I think this book includes a lot of the basic decorating rules in an easy to understand manner. Lots of photos. Yes, some can be considered outdated but this book was printed in 1994 so anyone purchasing it now should not be surprised. In regards to the commentary from December 14, 2002, and not liking the style -- everyone has individual tastes. This book is actually English, as in published in London, England. After having lived in Europe for 15 years, to me the style in the book looks very typical of the country. Also, many details of the room, both structural and decorative, as well as room composition reflect European styles. So I found the book to be both informative and also a reminder of English styles. Once in awhile the basic rules of interior design were not followed, but in real life, they aren't always either.
