While many decorating books show you what you want your home to look like, a precious few truly offer concrete guidance on how to get it.
In the Interior Design Handbook, Frida Ramstedt breaks down many of the general rules of thumb—like the proper size for a coffee table in relation to your sofa, the optimal height to hang lighting fixtures, and the best ways to use a mood board—complete with helpful illustrations.
By thinking about how we decorate, rather than focusing on what we decorate with, Ramstedt familiarizes readers with the basic principles behind interior and styling—what looks good and, most of all, why it looks good, making it easier to create a more harmonious, balanced space—no matter your budget or style.
