Review by Library Journal Review

Needleman's previous book, Domino, is a comprehensive guide for amateurs seeking young, sophisticated decor. She here focuses on professionally designed interiors-lending authority to her advice but diminishing the appeal for inexperienced home decorators. Illustrated with over 60 of Johnson's watercolors of actual interiors, the book covers lighting, furniture arrangements, and the use of decorative accessories, along with scents, plants, and linens. Resources for products mentioned are provided. Books such as Grace Bonney's Design*Sponge at Home and Christiane Lemieux's Undecorate explain how to add a personal touch to decor, while Needleman shows how professionals approach interior design.
