77 Habits of Highly Creative Interior Designers: Insider Secrets from the World's Top Design Professionals (Interior Design and Architecture)

From Publishers Weekly
Given the sometimes befuddling plethora of books about interior design, this concise ensemble of experts commenting on design issues is a notable stand-out. Design writer Lynch has effectively organized the book by limiting the particular design issue under discussion to one clear topic per page. In "Chapter Four: Windows and Lighting," for example, Lynch asserts that "Indirect lighting is always better than direct," to which her "panel" of architects and designers respond in specific, helpful paragraphs. When Lynch suggests that readers should "set up major appliances in the form of a triangle for maximum ease and efficiency," each of the designers comes up with a unique approach. With copious photographs exemplifying the design principles the experts are elucidating, this smart guide is both visually alluring and useful. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
