Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Designed for the do-it-yourselfer, this new book from the McMillans (House Comfortable: The Art and Science of Comfortable Living, LJ 9/15/96) provides all the basics for home decorating, including styles, lighting, room-by-room design, and accessorizing. The Dummies format works well here; tips and pitfalls are highlighted with icons, although there are too few pictures to illustrate some points. Kitchen design would have benefited from a checklist of design considerations similar to the one provided with bathroom design. Given the popularity of the series, this is a worthwhile purchase for public libraries.

4.0 out of 5 stars At Last -- A Book For Mere Mortals!, Dec 30 1999
By 
Syrie Bianco (East Hampton, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Decorating For Dummies® (Paperback)
Good,Solid advice on actually furnishing your home stylishly and comfortably instead of just fantasizing about the unaffordable and unattainable. I found a lot of helpful information to get me through each stage of a project. I really liked the way the authors wrote...very down-to-earth and friendly, unintimidating and real. I only wish there were loads of pretty pictures too!

4.0 out of 5 stars It is basic but not really for dummies!, July 20 2000
This review is from: Home Decorating For Dummies® (Paperback)
After checking out many books from the library and pouring over glossy photos of rooms as large as my whole house, I felt more discouraged than inspired. If you can get past the name of this series of books, this particular "Dummy" book has all the same information about interior design as the books that cost three times as much. Get those out of the library and look at the photos for free. There are only a few photos of rooms in this book. It is mostly just the basics of what you need to understand very basic interior design concepts. Is everyone but me living in a house with 12 foot ceilings, rooms that are 400 square feet and windows looking out on the ocean!

By A Customer
This review is from: Home Decorating For Dummies® (Paperback)
Like all the "handbook for Dummies" series, this is good, basic, straight forward information for the novice, written in a very friendly, unintimidating style.
