Decorating Hints & Tips: More Than 2000 Practical Solutions to Help You Improve Your Home

A practical guide to home design offers a wide variety of decorative effects and tricks of the trade that save time and money for those who wish to completely renovate a room or simply freshen one up

Organized in an easy-to-use manner, this book has color-edged pages that match the table of contents, and each chapter begins with a quick reference to its contents. Unfortunately, some of the chapters seem incomplete; for example, the section on window treatments gives an illustration of the supplies needed to construct curtains but no instructions or even pictures of various styles. Although chapters cover the installation of carpet and hardwood flooring, these projects require more reliable directions than can be trusted to be found here. Given the publisher's outstanding reputation, this is a surprisingly disappointing book.
