Most of the interiors pictured are in London, and there is a bias for that quirky British "more is more" style. So it you're looking for decorating inspiration for your minimalist home this book may not be very helpful. Otherwise, it's ...

Book was so interesting, I accidently purchased one that I already had
The seller says I will receive a credit, and allowed me to return the book. It is a nice book, not exceptional; good addition to references.

Finally, a book that really explains HOW to decorate!

I'm decorating my tiny house, and have been reading a lot of decorating books. This is the ONLY book I've come across that explains HOW to decorate. It breaks ...

The Essence of the French Culture
Outside of Paris and the other bustling cities, France's image is of small farms, atmospheric medieval villages, and of an age well past but well preserved with an understated elegance. Even newly built houses are often designed with a view towards looking like the 19th century. In this book, hundreds of color photographs illustrate the essence of the French countryside. The book is in two ...

Convenient and helpful.
I own this decorator's companion, along with another companion book. Not only is the information helpful in Caroline Clifton-Mogg's book, but the size is perfect when accompanying you to the stores. It has pockets for fabric swatches, paint chips, photographs or what have you, but also a section for jotting down notes. I've really enjoyed and used this book, and have had friends comment that ...

a plethora of bedrooms
I never really thought about the history of the bed or how to choose a mattress, but the author covers it thoroughly as she shows photo after photo of an amazing variety of bedrooms. The rooms really are different; there are many inspired by other parts of the world. Plus there is a step-by-step how to section on making bed curtains, covers, and canopies.

Classic Simplicity
This interior design book has a much lighter palette of colors, than say, Colefax & Fowler's Interior Inspirations (dark woods, old english country style). While the images seem deceptively simple, the juxtaposition of colors, neutrals and contrasts of textures packs a punch. There are lots of plaids, stripes, assorted ticking fabrics and some toile presented in this beautiful full color book ...

Apartment Living

Ryland Peters & Small, 2007

Half-hearted attempt
Assuming that by 'apartment' you mean 'space owned by you that you can do absolutely anything to', then this might be a marginally interesting book for you. I think of 'apartment' as meaning 'space owned by someone else, who will take legal action if I knock-down or erect walls or replace the kitchen appliances'. Given that (not uncommon) meaning of 'apartment', this book is absolutely ...
