I bought this book for a friend who's an interior designer and ended up keeping it myself but of course, ordered another one for her. Why keep it? The book was different to what I expected. This exquisite book covers so many styles, ideas, lifestyles, etc etc it excited me enough to start redecorating my home. I've 'loaned' a couple of ideas from the book, mixed and matched others and am having the best time. 5 stars is well deserved for this absolutely necessary for every home book with it's great ideas. Not forgetting of course the fabulous photography.

Discover Home Decor Ideas To Redecorate Your Home For Less
If your current home decor is dull and boring, but your budget causes you to be hesitant to spend the money to completely redecorate, don't despair. You don't have to have the talents of an interior designer nor the budget to hire one to update your home decor. Simple, low-cost home decor ideas can make a remarkable difference in your home's appearance.Below are only several home decor ideas which can spruce up a room for roughly $100 or less:
The bathroom is one of the most frequently used rooms in our home. Is your bathroom cluttered with toiletries and mismatched accessories? If so, now would be a great time to spend a few bucks updating the accessories while getting a handle on the clutter.
It shouldn't require but a little money and time to replace your old, mismatched bathroom accessories such as the soap or lotion dispenser, toothbrush holder, trash can and tissue box cover with matching pieces. Most major department stores, home decor retailers, and many off-price retailers have a variety of bathroom accessories to choose from, as well as, matching or complimentary rug sets, shower curtains and window treatments to go with your new bathroom accessories.
Nothing livens up a home like thriving green plants or floral arrangements. This home decor idea doesn't really even require you to have a green thumb to enhance your home with a little greenery. Many low-maintenance plant varieties are available to choose from, or perhaps you'd rather use life-like imitation plants or arrangements. Today's artificial plants and arrangements look so authentic, most people can't tell the difference unless they touch them.
Adding indirect lighting can completely change the look of your room, and will enhance the ambiance, too. It's a fact that many people ignore the lighting fixtures when they update the home decor. And, in most cases the overhead fixtures that came with your home don't really match your decor nor does the bright beaming light they produce improve the look of your room. Consider enhancing the mood of your room by adding decorative lamps. The indirect light from table and floor lamps lend a cozy, inviting feeling to your space.
Even though it's not in the budget to buy new furniture, giving your walls a new coat of paint in a trendy new color will create a totally new look. If trendy is not your style, you can select a more traditional color and your room will be in style for years to come. Changing the color of a room's walls is a low-cost way of giving your room a brand new appearance, regardless of the color you pick.
Here's one last inexpensive home decor idea, don't just presume that you need to replace your current furniture to redecorate your room. Believe it or not, by merely rearranging your furniture and home decor objects, you can achieve a new look which will create the atmosphere you desire for your room.

Wow! What a difference! This book is fantastic!
It took me an evening to sit down and look at the pictures and read what they did in each room to make the difference. Then it took me another evening to look at my living room and begin to make changes. And wow! Did I see a difference with just a little bit of moving furniture, moving things out of the room and rehanging my pictures.
It was simple to do and it with the book explaining how and why to set up a room, hang pictures, make an impact and more.
Well worth the money if you don't have the money for a decorator but want some easy to impliment advice.
Enjoy.
