The Interior Design Handbook Hardcover – 29 Oct. 2020

Gave this as a gift but had a quick flick through before wrapping and found it extremely informative. Will order another for myself.

Really handy book for helpful tips on nailing the basics of planning interiors whatever your home style or budget, initially was disappointed there weren't lots of glossy interiors photos but realised quickly this would defeat the point of the book. Very easy to read and would highly recommend

Love this book! It is not a fluffy, coffee table book with lots of glossy photographs, it is an intelligent book for people who want to learn how to approach a design project and make it their own.So often the approach to interior design is to copy photographs showing other people's work. This book empowers the reader to create their own design and to make it work within their own setting. It gives basic principles of design to use as a guide, explains how common mistakes occur and shows how to create a harmoniously designed house.I am due to move house later this year so I am using this book to learn about interior design so that when I start the project, I will have a firm foundation of knowledge to build upon.If I have a criticism - and it is a tiny one - it is that the section relating interior design to architectural designs of houses, would have been more useful had the houses used as guides been British houses. However, all that means os that I will have to do some more work and research British architecture myself. At least I can use the information in the book to work out what kind of information I need to find.On the whole, a wonderful book, it will soon be tattered - a sure sign of a useful book!

The book itself is filled with practical and technical advice, but I was expecting more visuals. Also, this may just be a production issue but the pages within the book were back to front and upside down from the cover.

After purchasing this, and reading it from cover to cover, I will transform the hovel I currently dwell in to a small section of paradise on earth. I have all the knowledge I need thanks to this book. It looks good on my coffee table too. Makes me appear sophisticated.

A gift for my wife which she really enjoyed
