Great advice in this book for beginners as well as more experienced decorators. For fans of British decor styles and people,who have a more traditional aesthetic. Very realistic and achievable design.

A nice book! Some very attractive photos and a few tips I really liked, like using a cohesive color palette throughout your home. I liked the way the author demonstrated building a physical mood board as well. Nothing groundbreaking, but very enjoyable!

This is a beautiful coffee table book to add to the objets d’art you’ll find yourself accumulating after reading it.

Fun and informative. Learnt a lot about mood boards but more examples would have been helpful. Some of the text is a bit fluffy in nature but overall accessible to beginners in home styling I’d say.

[Bram Oegema · Rating 1 out of 5]

Never read a book in which the author basically only talked about herself. Almost ever chapter starts with the word „I“ in the first sentence.

Lots of details in this book.
