O livro se vende com a ideia de que é um guia útil para quem é da área, um livro de consulta, porém achei fraco nesse propósito. Tem bastante coisa aproveitável e útil, mas não considero um livro essencial nem livro de cabeceira do design de interiores.

Aprendes a grandes rasgos en qué consiste el diseño de interiores. Para ver si te gusta está bien. Está muy enfocado en EEUU y de Europa solo aparece Londres y Reino Unido
