Some good points brought up but pretty basic stuff for such a huge book. Then again interior design in general Is maybe pretty basic.

This is a textbook. Reading text books is fun! This book contains a basic overview of the field of interior design. It covers history, the design process, planning a design, human factors, social responsibility, different materials and interior elements, color, lighting, furniture, special needs, internal technical systems, and various other things. Reading a text book on interior design makes it clear that the field is much more than decoration. Interior design (at least, good interior design) is focused on how space is used and making sure that use is effective. As such, I find that this book has a closer tie to environmental psychology than many of the other books I have read in the general area of architecture and interior design. I enjoyed learning about interior design, and I appreciated the fact that 550 pages go a lot faster when there are lots of pictures. =)
