Great decorating book!! Great book with good photos. Also has a handy ribbon bookmark. I will use this as a resource for years to come!!
Decor Inspiration Plus I own hundreds of interior design and decor books and if I could only keep 5 of them, this would be one of the top 5 interior decoration books. Why?
It's thoroughly up-to-date with styles which will inspire and stretch you, while retaining some classic styles. It's a great how-to book. It shows you how to put rooms together with different elements. The rooms are original and captivating. It has a "little black book" at the end of places to buy the design elements in person or online with a review of each and its price scale. It's just a fun, cheeky book that is well-designed and entertaining to look at and read. It continually surprises and enchants. I use this book in a design course I teach and the class loves it. Even if you like traditional decor, this book will inspire you to keep it fresh by incorporating something surprising or unusual just so the room doesn't look like every other traditionally designed room.
I just wish Domino magazine hadn't gone out of business, and like Victoria magazine, will be revived when the recession is over and we're all buying back copies of domino magazine on Ebay....
Until then, at least we've got this domino book with which to comfort ourselves!
Love it! I am renovating a condo (my first home!) and am loving all of the photos and tips in this book as I go from room to room picking out colors, paintings, furniture, etc.!
MUST HAVE BOOK!!! This beautiful book is a must have item in any home decorators collection. Especially now that the magazine is no longer published, you need to get this before it's gone too!
First Decorating Advice that Makes Sense This is the first decorating advice I have ever found that really makes sense. They give both step by step instructions and room breakdowns plus helpful tips with great corresponding pictures. I was sad to learn after reading and loving this book that Domino magazine was discontinued before I could subscribe. There are even some apartment friendly design tips for those of us who can't paint our bright white walls.
