Product Description
"I'm a democratic design snob. I see it as my mission to help stamp out boring, unimaginative interiors. But I also love people, having fun, and what I do for a living. I think a fabulously styled place is achievable by everyone. Think of me as your decorating wingman." Thom Filicia, whose one-of-a-kind makeover genius gained national attention through his starring roles on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Dress My Nest, offers the ultimate handbook for creating gorgeous interiors that showcase your unique personal style. Those who have witnessed Thom's remarkable makeovers on television already know about the much-anticipated reveal moment when the emotionally overwhelmed homeowners are struck speechless by the miracle he has created. The same miracle is now possible for your home, with the secrets and tips contained in Thom Filicia Style. With his trademark wit and friendly voice, Thom deconstructs how he works his magic and provides pages of invaluable advice, inspiration, before-and-after photos, case studies, floor plans, and product information. His approach will help you elevate your personal aesthetic by strategizing the best ways to make the most out of every space. From his work on a Manhattan loft to a suburban family home, Thom brings a fresh and invigorating vision to the way we live -- a vision that can apply to homes and decorating budgets of any size. Demystifying the decorating process one step at a time, Thom has filled this guide with everything you need to create the perfect interior. Thom Filicia Style is like having the designer himself on hand to take care of all the details.

 Fabulous Book! I decorated my whole place with it! October 17, 2008

First, I have to say that this is a gorgeous book with beautiful photographs. Even if you're not looking to redecorate, it is a wonderful book to flip through and keep on your coffee table.
On top of that, it's all about using your own personal style to decorate your space. So while Thom Filicia has excellent taste and style, this book makes it about you, not about him. I just moved into a new apartment, and this book could not have been more helpful in helping me figure out how best to decorate it. I was able to use a lot of the pieces that I already own, but in ways that only made them look better. This book is a great inspiration.
Beautiful Book! October 22, 2008

This book is beautiful! The photos and graphics are fabulous and the advice is so useful! I love how Thom's designs are assembled - they are a mix of new items, antiques and collections that you already own but made so much more beautiful by the colors and surface materials. The absolute truth is that I've already stolen one of his ideas and implemented it in my new house - and it looks great!
Totally inspiring! November 20, 2008

A friend gave me this book, I guess because she felt like my apartment looked like a mish-mash of things I liked, without any real connection.
From the minute I opened Thom's book I realized with just a few additions and rearranging I could transform my own style into a great looking apartment that was still all about me. I recently had a dinner party and people were amazed with the transformation - I was even accused of hiring a designer to help!
And the book is beautiful, so now it's on display as it well deserves to be.
I've got a bunch of other single friends living in NYC and I plan to give them all this book for the holidays!

There are plenty of ideas ideas in this book to help you create an attractive home. There are tips galore, such as: "Neutral rooms loaded with tactile zing seem drenched in color--but better" (p 68). Most of the rooms he decorated are more modern than traditional, but even in the traditional rooms he tackled he brings a fresh outlook to, such as the faux mastadon tusks he placed above a sofa on page 38. That was something I would never have considered! There is also a helpful section at the end showing case studies, so you can pull everything together.
AMAZING Ideas! November 3, 2008

So really what Thom does is pure talent - meaning sure he is not reinventing the wheel - but he has that nack of being able to pull together that crisp perfect comfort look that is impossible to do. There are plenty of great ideas that can be duplicated in this book - vivid pics and step by step processes that really lend well to being able to assist in doing it yourself.
I bought several copies to give away as housewarming gifts and holiday stocking stuffers.
