The editors of House Beautiful magazine here present hundreds of ideas for bringing style to your home. This volume begins with the essentials of decorating, such as the use of color, scale, and light, and goes on to discuss wall and window treatments, ceilings, floors, and furniture arrangement. Complete with numerous appealing color photographs, it offers its own unique style for adding the final decorative touches that personalize a home. Its more unusual aspects include units on side tables, decorative screens, and dressing tables. The transformation of a schoolhouse, grist mill, and older historic homes are also showcased. Good practical advice is offered that is not "too country" or "too formal." Definitely recommended for any size library.
