Filled with photographs of every room of the home, this book provides less practical information on decorating than would be expected from the title. The illustrations will give experienced decorators ideas on various ways to accent and decorate the home. Interspersed are brief instructions on various painting and sewing projects. If there is a strong interest in interior decorating this will give more examples than many sources, but be sure to supplement it with some good do-it-yourself project books, such as the Paint, reviewed above.
