We tend to see a lot of totally white interior decorating these days and it can get boring. This book sets out to convince you to do otherwise and include lots of patterns (mostly colorful) and textures instead,

To me, the author did a wonderful job. Not only Is the book chock full of gorgeous photographs showcasing a comprehensive range of patterns, there are accompanying color panels to show you what colors have been used to make it work. My artist heart sang!

Whether you’re starting from scratch in decorating your abode or just wanting to add some accent by the use of patterned cushions or rugs or furniture, this book will equip you with ideas and know-how.

Love it!

This is a beautiful and useful resource for the design-challenged, or even just the design-not-too-confident among us. It covers a broad variety of styles so everyone can find something to interest them. Along with beautiful photography and inspiration, the text included helpful, accessible discussions of the WHY behind design choices. Those theory lessons will help readers adapt the principles to their own spaces.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
