From Booklist
Dozens (if not hundreds) of decorating books line library shelves, most with similar advice and frameworks. Designer-authors start with considerations of space, light, color, and room intentions, then cover the architecture, furniture and arrangement, and accessories. The inevitable color wheel appears, as do an introduction to styles, types of furniture, and tips about personalizing space. What makes English fabric designer Grafton and her coauthor Chislett’s book so different? Certainly, the very continental collection of homes and rooms, infused with soft sophistication and slightly worn style, screams to be paged through. The very unusual spin on color codes, that is, those combinations of shades that produce a variety of moods, are categorized mainly in terms of six adjectives: calm, seaside, sunny, pretty, cozy, and smart. And her practical ideas for transforming one room or an entire house, such as the making of an inspiration board, will jump-start the creative process for novice and professional alike. More than window dressing here. --Barbara Jacobs
