A pattern for inpspiring home decor

This is a gorgeous book filled with lots of inspiring ideas for your home and some projects that emulate the look of designs in the book. I keep this on my coffee table and flip through it when I need some advice about combining different patterns and textures. There are some schemes here I would never have imagined working together, but seeing them on the pages of this beautiful book gives me the courage to be bolder with color and pattern.

A Passion For This Book!

I am an interior design professional and we have a copy of this book in our office. It is full of fun, vibrant, whimsical and creative ideas. It is another wonderful book from Katrin Cargil.

Beautiful pictures

The photos in the book are absolutely stunning! This book was released a few years ago but you couldn't tell...it looks like it was done this year.
There are mainly europien castles, cottages, etc. featured and only a couple of modern homes. But I agree with the previous reviewers on that this book is truly inspirational and has great examples of combining patterns, textures, etc. together in an anusual way. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 star is because the text could have been more informative, I felt that in some cases, the author was just stating the obvious. I find the text only somewhat helpful. Otherwise it's a very well done book! I also use it as a coffe table book and draw ideas, inspiration from it.
