Product Description
From Amazon
The traditional living room has increasingly given way to the idea of a "great room"--a space adaptable enough to entertain guests, encourage playful children, provide a comfortable place to view videos, and, yes, even accommodate the solitary reader. Pottery Barn Living Rooms leads such a reader through the basic issues and specific choices available to anyone wanting to re-do an existing space or design a new living room. Each of its ten chapters is devoted a specific subject (color, texture, lighting); all chapters begin with an overview of the topic, followed by virtual tours of rooms--both large and smaller, formal and casual—complete with gorgeous photos. The accompanying text goes on to explain how the real-life owners of these rooms created a sense of intimacy, a dramatic effect with lighting, or a convivial place in which people are likely to congregate. Whether you have high ceilings or low, a large budget or a limited one, this book is valuable for anyone looking for sensible ideas in creating a room perfect for all kinds of living. --David Bombeck

not black and white at all,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pottery Barn Living Rooms: Ideas and Inspiration for Stylish Living Spaces (Hardcover)
I just bought this book and love it. I found it full of very good colour suggestions, and one of the best parts of the book is the way they take neutral backgrounds and show you how to add colour inexpensively and without overwhelming the viewer.That type of decor is easily changed, and they show how to change the colour and texture for seasonal effects or for bringing a totally new colour scheme in without buying all new stuff. I'm impressed. I also like the different homes they show. Much more real life than a canned home decor magazine spread.

Achieving Calm,
By Anna Kasabian (Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pottery Barn Living Rooms: Ideas and Inspiration for Stylish Living Spaces (Hardcover)
I think Pottery Barn livingrooms gives clear, memorable design ideas that all point to achieving a sense of calm in your nest. Beyond that they show you how to mix textures, periods and shapes to make your space interesting. And maybe best of all they give us rooms that are nicely edited so that every special detail, or object's qualities can be appreciated. It's a very good guide to good taste.

Great decorating ideas!,
By jay dow (Beverly, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pottery Barn Living Rooms: Ideas and Inspiration for Stylish Living Spaces (Hardcover)
I received a copy of the Living Rooms book for Christmas and found it not just great to look at, but full of really useful ideas. I love to change around the furniture in my home, and give the rooms a new look, and this book is full of terrific decorating tips. Unlike lots of other interior design books, which can be a lot of fluff, the text is worth reading and the photos really show you how to make beautiful rooms (without assuming you've got endless time and money.)I hadn't really considered myself a Pottery Barn fan before, but I certainly am now. I ended up buying the Bathrooms book, too, and it's just as good. I definitely recommend this book!
