Summary: Helpful beginner's book
Comment: This book is a great place to start for anyone who wants to decorate a room or rooms from scratch or who wants to add to a room that needs something extra. It has great ideas, especially for the beginner, for gathering information, being creative, buying with confidence, and visualizing the end result. Rather than being overwhelming, the colorful and easy-to-follow steps make the process much more delightful for those with little training and less natural ability.
While the book has great resources, including examples of window treatments and upholstery and a detailed resource section, the one missing piece that would be invaluable to the true novice is a glossary. Point number 2 in Getting Started in the book tells you to determine your style and uses terms such as bohemian, traditional, sentimental, and theatrical. For those with NO introduction to style and decorating, these words are meaningless without some background or specifics, making self-definition difficult. Running into this wall at the beginning of the book might discourage some readers. A simple glossary of such terms would help.

Summary: This BOOK makes me happy
Comment: domino: The Book of Decorating is subtitled "a room-by-room guide to creating a home that makes you happy".
If you have never set up a home space before, you can use this book as an all encompassing workbook. Simply proceed chapter by chapter and you will be supplied with options from which to choose, and tips for choosing among them.
Collecting, mixing and matching, how to get premium function from minimal space, furniture, practical decor and tricks for renters, when I say all encompassing, I'm not falling victim to hyperbole.
It's a plus that the book is basically organized room by room, rather than into overall style sections. That makes it super easy if you only want to look at ideas for bedrooms, a home office, etc.
If you are experienced at creating a home from a house (or apt.) you will still love checking out the abundant detail found in the multitude of photographs, each with its own tip, technique, or revelation box. Even avid readers of Domino will appreciate the further consideration of
set-ups they may have seen in issues of the magazine, and there are definitely legions of us who never saw all the issues. This book would make an excellent gift for anyone moving into a new house or redecorating their old.

Summary: A book we all should have!
Comment: This is a book we all should buy to reference from time to time and ofcourse, for our remodeling projects. Even if you don't want to follow every word of it, it is very handy to just get ideas for decoraring some parts of your space. You can start by selecting a room and it's theme and then proceed with the help of pictures and examples. The photographs are very nice and the quality of the book is excellent. I would certainly recomend this wonderful reference guide!

Summary: Stylized but interesting interpretation of home decor
Comment: If you happen to like the mismatched, eclectic style of Domino, then you'll find this book full of interesting design inspiration. You need to look carefully, however, for if you have very traditional tastes and/or dislike the shabby chic look, you may well be disappointed.
