Decorating Books for Actual People (13 books)

Listopia > Decorating Books for Actual People

I'm starting this list in the hopes that others will add to it. I'm sick of decorating books that only show the houses of rich artists and designers. Those homes are beautiful, but way out of reach for most of us. I want a list of accessible, practical decorating books, ones that can teach regular people how to work with the limitations many of us have--crappy apartments we're not allowed to change, extremely limited budgets, pets and/or small children, etc. Please add more books!
