Product Description
With 464 information-packed pages and more than 500 gorgeous color photos, The Home Book is sure to become the homeowner’s bible on interior design. A beautiful object in itself, this book will grace every (perfectly chosen) coffee table...but only after this hardworking guide has been pored through and turned to again and again for practical, usable design insights. The volume begins by taking a hard look at the bones of the house: its site, light, and layout. Armed with those basics, you’ll know which elements you can improve, and how to work around those that can’t be changed. From there, develop an overall decorating concept based on theme, color, furnishings, wall and floor coverings, and accessories—each aspect of design receives detailed coverage. Finally, go through the house room by room to see what remarkable transformations you can achieve in every space, from the entryway to the home office, the kitchen to the foyer. The Home Book reflects House Beautiful’s exciting style: fresh, bright and accessible, filled with insider tips from today’s top decorators, and bursting with practical advice for real people. A Main Selection of the Homestyle Book Club.

This is a wonderful book! I've referred back to it many times since I've received it. It contains info on proper furniture arrangement, tablescaping, selecting a color scheme and blending patterns, proper lighting, window treatments etc. It is broken down in sections so it's easy to use as a resource for specific design questions. It has alot of wonderful pictures of decorated rooms for inspiration as well. This book has 463 pages of info and pictures you will use time and time again. GET THIS BOOK! You will not be sorry.
Very helpful! February 10, 2009

I love this book. Not only does it give you great ideas for decortaing and placement of furniture, but they give you paint color ideas. They define the colors and tell you where they go best and what goes with those colors! It has been a lot of fun!!

I was very excited to order this book. I first saw it in a store near me selling for $50 and couldn't bear to spend that much. So I looked around and found it here for half the price! Now after reading and browsing this book many times it would have been worth the 50 bucks it was orginally selling for. It has many helpful hints and ideas for your home. Its been a life saver!
Excellent home book August 12, 2009
