- Section 3, ôSurfaceö, identifies options in color, material, texture, and pattern, while addressing maintenance and performance issues.

- Section 5, ôElements,ö describes the selection and specification of furniture and fixtures, as well as other components essential to an interior environment, such as artwork and accessories.
- Lastly, section 6, ôResources,ö gathers a wealth of useful data, from sustainability guidelines to online sources for interiors-related research.

Books,
This review is from: Color, Space, and Style: All the Details Interior Designers Need to Know but Can Never Find (Paperback)
I would just like everyone to know that I know I would have really enjoyed this book had Amazon had the decency to admit they'd screwed up my order and just rectified the problem. I guess when you become a large corporation that makes millions upon millions of dollars, the small guy(translation:customer) that ocasionally gets screwed over, is not very important.

Brilliant and a must have for anyone in a design career,
By Reginna R. Zhidov - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Color, Space, and Style: All the Details Interior Designers Need to Know but Can Never Find (Paperback)
Color, Space and Style is a plethora of useful information, tips of the trade, ideas, and resources at your fingertips.The content is easy to read and understand with well thought out categories. Full color pages outline the design process from start to finish. It is obvious a great deal of energy, time and effort went into its creation. A must read for anyone interested in interior design and design related fields, in fact would be an excellent tool in a teaching environment. Bravo! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Color, Space, and Style: All the Details Interior Designers Need to Know but Can Never Find (Paperback)
this book is kind of like a manual without the dogma of being one. This book doesn't tell you how to do anything. It just presents facts and the such.It has a lot of things that you should have memorized or at least have a simple knowledge of. It is great for students of both architecture and interior design because it has information useful to both. My girlfriend is a layperson in the construction/ architecture field and she asked to borrow it. It has useful things like the differences in types of paint and other materials. Things that aren't really thought about all that much but are useful and important non the less. I would recommend this book to add to one's reference library. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

By happy reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Color, Space, and Style: All the Details Interior Designers Need to Know but Can Never Find (Paperback)
Sort of like like the cover this book is practical and a bit plain but very useful for basic interior designers.While some concepts are intuitive the guide is helpful in spelling out detailed basics that any designer or decorator will profit from.
