COPY ISBN
Television personality and home stager Hobbs’s first book covers design via chapters that move from outdoor spaces to lower levels and basements. Each chapter is divided into more bite-size morsels, presenting the top 10 design tips, renovation dos and don’ts, and quick design recipes. There are detailed explanations of gallery walls, furniture placement, what to avoid, and décor and design tips for many a problem. The beautiful photographs provide ample ideas. The bedroom chapter gives insight about items that should be splurged on versus budget purchases. Bonus chapters speak of staging, best practices in photography, vacation homes, and many color tips.
VERDICT A great discovery for readers who are starting to design their homes or beginning an update. For all collections where interior-design books circulate well.
