Product Description
With 464 information-packed pages and more than 500 gorgeous color photos, The Home Book is sure to become the homeowner’s bible on interior design. A beautiful object in itself, this book will grace every (perfectly chosen) coffee table...but only after this hardworking guide has been pored through and turned to again and again for practical, usable design insights.
The volume begins by taking a hard look at the bones of the house: its site, light, and layout. Armed with those basics, you’ll know which elements you can improve, and how to work around those that can’t be changed.
The volume begins by taking a hard look at the bones of the house: its site, light, and layout. Armed with those basics, you’ll know which elements you can improve, and how to work around those that can’t be changed.
From there, develop an overall decorating concept based on theme, color, furnishings, wall and floor coverings, and accessories—each aspect of design receives detailed coverage. Finally, go through the house room by room to see what remarkable transformations you can achieve in every space, from the entryway to the home office, the kitchen to the foyer.
The Home Book reflects House Beautiful’s exciting style: fresh, bright and accessible, filled with insider tips from today’s top decorators, and bursting with practical advice for real people.
A Main Selection of the Homestyle Book Club.

This review is from: House Beautiful The Home Book: Creating a Beautiful Home of Your Own (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book! I've referred back to it many times since I've received it. It contains info on proper furniture arrangement, tablescaping, selecting a color scheme and blending patterns, proper lighting, window treatments etc. It is broken down in sections so it's easy to use as a resource for specific design questions. It has alot of wonderful pictures of decorated rooms for inspiration as well. This book has 463 pages of info and pictures you will use time and time again. GET THIS BOOK! You will not be sorry.

Beautiful Photos, Nov 15 2009

This review is from: House Beautiful The Home Book: Creating a Beautiful Home of Your Own (Hardcover)
Tons of beautiful photos fill this thick volume. The photos are very clear and appear true to life in color. The book is sectioned off by various areas of the home such as: dining, living room, kitchen, etc. There are many helpful tips and designer favorite tips. The writing is clear on the eyes and in concept. This is somewhat of a basic decorating book and I did feel some areas were rather boring such as: going over finding the perfect bench to place at the foot of the master bed. That being said what average homeowner among us couldn't use some brushing up on basic home layouts. Like most HB books it is really stunning but unlike some HB books the photos are not overly ornate at all and many focus on an eclectic style incorporating both modern, country and some Mediterranean designs. Some HB books seem to only be for the rich and famous. This is somewhat of a basic book with room/furniture layout discussed as well as color choices for walls, etc. I did still feel that many of the rooms were above the budget of the average homeowner but take what you can from this beautiful book. I personally would have very much liked to see more wall art displays...that was lacking. Also: for the bedrooms...more full suite photos would have been appreciated.

I love this book. Not only does it give you great ideas for decortaing and placement of furniture, but they give you paint color ideas. They define the colors and tell you where they go best and what goes with those colors! It has been a lot of fun!!
