UMMM whoever thought of this is a freaking genius. I never knew i needed this until I got it - mind blown. This book is aamazing - it really helps creaete the perfect lingo when talking about furniture. As someone who is constantly working how to save money until we can afford the perfect furniture piece, this book truly helped me nail a few concept ideas. I genuinely had no idea that there were so many different styles and names for things. I always thought I was a Retro girl but when it came to our kitchen stools, I was really a mid-century type of girl. Who knew? The book did. The visuals are fun and cute. I love the intro before each chapter which gives enough information to have a new perspective but doesn't overwhelm your mind in a pretentious way. Just thinking about the fact that tiles pattersn and shapes can change the lok and scale of a room completely was insight we hadn't thought about before. I appreciated the new perspective.Great book! Highly recommended.
My boyfriend and I just moved to a new place and I was scrambling for some decor ideas. I tried going to a few home furnishing stores and just felt overwhelmed the second I walked in the door. I had to turn around and head back out! I found this book while trolling for help on and it turned out to be just what I needed. This book uses illustrations to help you identify different styles of furniture and decor, AND helps you pair them! For example, it helps you identify the best nightstand size for your bed. Something that I would never think about, but would drive me crazy if I purchased the wrong one! I needed tips like this desperately and this book was a life saver. It even came with sample diagrams for wall decor- GENIUS. This book took my home from being somewhat organized chaos to a place that looked finished and put together. I love this book and cannot recommend it enough!
I have been doing some home remodeling this summer and have been having to pick paint, tile and furniture. I got this book and found out some of my choices could have been better. This book goes through the basics. The things you thought you knew with furniture, rug placement, table heights and pros and cons might have been wrong or just not the best choice. I found the description of the different styles of furniture, Transitional, Classic and Modern helpful in realizing that type of furniture I really like. The different paint type was eye-opening for me, because I just make some wrong choices. I loved the illustrations in this book, especially on how to arrange your photos or artwork on your walls. This book is simple and easy to use, with cute illustrations that cover everything from top, lights to bottom, rugs and even door handles and nail types. Great to have on hand!
If you need the A to Z's on Design 101, this is the book for you. It's definitely called Home Decor Cheat Sheets for a reason. This is guide for D.I.Y.ers and budding home designers a like. I love how it breaks down and simplifies what and what not to do. There even illustrations that clearly point out with a X or a check mark, what works together and pictures of didn't styles of fixtures and furniture that make it that much easier to be clever when talking to others on home improvement. Although simplicistic with pictures and symbols, I never felt that the book was treating the reader like they didn't know anything. The author found the best way to make a lot of information easily digestible.As much as I love physical books, gotta love a Kindle edition as you can pick and choose your chapters with just just a click, which makes it much easier when you're looking for particular information. After perusing the whole book, I went back and looked up the chapter on design and decor tricks. Proportion and scale are always something I've had trouble with. I've bought furniture before that didn't work for the space just because I liked it. Now I have have a better idea how to make my space and style fit together. This will be a go-to in my reader any time I have a home improvement bug.
This book couldn't have come into my life at a better time! I'm moving in a week and will be purchasing all new furniture next month. Having the vocabulary (and the useful, cute pictures) to talk about furniture with salespeople and conduct online searches has drastically improved my results. In addition, the author adds measurements to help you plan before you even head to the furniture store. How many inches should the wall be away from the dining table on each side? How much shorter should the coffee table be than the sofa? I had no idea before picking up Jessica Probus's cute, practical book, but now I do! In addition, I'm so glad I sprung for the Kindle version so I can keep all my furniture plans in one convenient place as I head out to purchase. There are tons of ideas presented without the obnoxious twee quality that a lot of Pinterest-style blogs have. Glad I got this!
