My Review
This was a great book. I have always been interested in interior design. I am always looking for great books and I loved this one. When you think designing the interior of your own home. You only think of a couple of aspects light, colour textures etc. When actually there are over 100 different aspects to discover. Each of these aspects are explained over a 2 page spread including so great pictures. This book is designed for students who are doing interior design courses. However, I am not a student and found this book so very useful. I want to design my own home and got so great advice on things to consider when doing this. This is great for creating a high end looking house and with this knowledge you can keep the costs down. You Can easily pick aspects to use for each room at home or creating and industrial space. It has a wonderful layout and flows so well. I definitely learnt a lot from reading this book. The text explains everything so well. I recommend this book to all students or those looking for ideas to help design your own space.
So much praise goes out to the authors and publishing team for bringing us this fantastic and useful book. I will definitely be looking out for more books by these wonderful authors.
