Domino: The Book of Decorating cracks the code to creating a beautiful home, bringing together inspiring rooms, how-to advice and insiders' secrets from today's premier tastemakers in an indispensable style manual. The editors take readers room by room, tapping the best ideas from domino magazine and culling insights from their own experiences. With an eye to making design accessible and exciting, this book demystifies the decorating process and provides the tools for making spaces that are personal, functional and fabulous.
The editors of Domino magazine here show how amateurs can achieve a young, sophisticated look in their homes. A brief review of important preliminary considerations-budget, defining one's own style, the room's function-is followed by advice for decorating every room of the house, including children's rooms and offices. Different styles are shown for each in plenty of color photographs, with suggested furnishings and advice on how to mix styles. Each chapter concludes with a look at how a Domino staff member has decorated a similar room with a description of her approach to design. Recommended for large public libraries.

October 26, 2009: I enjoyed this book, and it is definitely a must. Home style for the modern person. It does not focus on any specific design rules, more of what the average person wants, based on their style and personality.
The only thing that I am sorry about is that Domino Magazine is no longer in publication, so there is no way to get anymore of this information on a monthly basis.As a result, it is important to get a copy of this. My only problem is that I wanted more, the book was too short.Reader Rating:

May 09, 2009: I love this book. I saw the ad in a magazine and instantly knew that I wanted this book.
I found it in stores, for much more than it was online so I decided to buy it off of barnes and nobles. It came in the mail sooner than I expected too!It's a great book for beginnger and professional decorators. They give good directions to certain things and good ideas (ie: what to do in a small space, etc).The only thing I wish they did was give a kind of "360" view of the rooms rather than just one room.Overall, I'm very happy I made it. I love having it in my collection.
