Good direction, but dated styling...

When buying a book on interior decorating, make sure to check out the year the book was originally published. If you want the newest trends in a certain style, get a recently published book. This book, while full of information, held little in the way of pictorial inspiration or unique ideas. It's kind of an old book- it reminded me very much of the soaps my parents used to watch in the 80's. My recommendation would be to steer clear of this one and get Mary Gilliatt's Interior Design Course. Much more (updated) info, more pictures, and a lot of inspiration.

The illustrations alone are worth the price of this book. The author shows a series of rooms, and each room is shown decorated with three different schemes. It clearly shows how different floor coverings, colors, and furniture change the look and feel of a room.
