Reviews

Written to teach the amateur home decorator the tricks of the interior design trade, this book is divided into three main sections. The first concentrates on the basic design of a room by describing the use of color, texture, pattern, and light. The second presents a review of interior decorating styles, from Victorian to modern, showing typical wall coverings, windows, and furniture that define each style. The last portion contains "how-to" information with instructions ranging from making curtains to the proper hanging of a picture in order to give the finishing touch to room decorating. Never too wordy, this guide offers a multitude of photographs that illuminate the advice throughout. An excellent practical purchase for public libraries.
