Beautiful photography and lovely ideas for interiors. The only thing I found needing improvement was that most of the images where of grand, unique spaces which makes it hard to put into practice in the normal type of house.

While I prefer dark interiors (in this house!) I nonetheless thought this would be an important read for inspiration on pops of colour throughout the house; I was not disappointed and in fact was taken aback by how much dark was included in this book (I guess dark is a colour too!)
As others have mentioned, my only slight disappointment with this book, as opposed to the previous ‘Extraordinary Interiors’ is its focus on photography of larger and more historical houses as opposed to more meagre and modern builds. Nonetheless, the theory and inspiration in this make it a valuable piece of inspiration and advice.
Overall, I would recommend this book for its aesthetic beauty and inspiration more than interior design advice or guidance; however, used in compliment with others it is a beautiful read and good, albeit limited, source of inspiration.
