More About This Book

Overview

The New Decorating Book

More than 3.3 million copies sold!

  • Guides you through the process of putting it all together, whether decorating an entire home, redoing a room, or looking for a solution to a specific decorating problem.
  • Divided into two useful sections: one devotes a chapter to each major room in the house; another is organized by design topics, such as window and wall treatments, furniture shopping, color scheming, decorating with fabrics and patterns, personalizing with accessories, and more.
  • Special sections show seasonal changes and decorative updates, offer small projects and fun quizzes designed to build decorating confidence and knowledge, and showcase decorating ideas in action as they illustrate specific decorating points.

Two books in one, this guide is both a stylish dream book and a practical workbook. More than 500 lush color photos present hundreds of ideas to stir decorating fantasies and clear text explains all one needs to know to make those dreams a reality. Special features include floor plans, punch-out furniture templates, and graph paper. Size D.
