Love the simplicity and wisdom gained from Frida.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a how to, but general principles you can apply in your specific design situation

Excellent book, fills an important gap in all the interior design resources out there. I had a textbook from a college design class that covered mostly the same material which I loaned to someone who never returned it. So thankful to have found this book

5.0 out of 5 stars Very educational & only black/white drawings in book. Worth the money.

This book was published in 2019. It has 240 thick pages. A few of the pages at the beginning are not numbered which is not a problem. There are 9 chapters: What Makes You Feel Good?, Basic Principles and Rules of Thumb, Tools to Help You Bring It All Together, Colors, Lighting, Design Tips, Buying Tips, Key Measurements and Proportions, and Planning Your Interior Project. There are NO color photos in this book or photos of any rooms in a house. There are approx. 81 pages with black and white drawings (which are good), such as showing you how to and not to place furniture, and how to and not to hang window curtains, how to arrange pictures on walls and gives suggestions as to what type of picture goes in each room, etc. This book is FULL of interior design information. I really ENJOYED reading this book. I learned a lot from this book. Highly recommend. Delivered as instructed, packaged well and delivered on time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches Design

J.i.C. · March 19, 2025

I am moving in or 60s to a home that will likely be our last. I want to decorate with intention as opposed to using what we have and replacing what we need. I worried that the author being Scandinavian, would mean more minimalist than I want to be. Wrong!! I bought a pile of home decors books and this is the only one to teach me what to do and how to do it. There are no color pictures just drawings. I’m enjoying the beautiful, coffee table worthy books but this is explaining what these other designers have done and why. I really would buy this book before any of the other eight highly rated picture books I have bought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches you how to think like a designer (unlike all those other books filled with pictures)

C. · February 8, 2025

Excellent educational tool if you want to learn (rather than copy others' ideas).If you just want to copy looks that other people came up with, this is NOT the book for you. There are no glossy photos to "inspire" you (if you want ideas of looks, just go online). What's great about this book is that it actually teaches you how to think like a designer, so that you can come up with the right looks for your own specific space. The problem with so many design books is that you get seduced by all these gorgeous looks in other people's homes, but if you try to replicate it in your own home, it looks awful (either due to differences in sunlight, room spaces, etc.).Yes, the material is dense (and at times boring), but that's a good thing -- it means you're actually learning and becoming a better designer yourself. And then once you figure out the tools of the trade, you'll realize you don't need to pay a professional a ton of money!
