Presenting all the design principles and techniques needed for creating beautiful rooms, Interior Design Course advises readers on how to think visually and develop distinctive, personal styles of their own. The book is organized into units that reflect interior design courses offered at leading schools. Step-by-step tutorials guide readers through the entire design process, starting with planning the space, then instructing on choosing color schemes and furnishings, and working with a variety of materials. Separate units focus on design principles pertaining to the suburban home. . . the urban live/work loft apartment. . . utilitarian bathroom and kitchen design . . . commercial interiors, including restaurants, retail spaces, and offices. There is also a chapter on becoming a professional interior designer, with advice on preparing a portfolio and marketing one's skills. A gallery of finished examples by professional designers and advanced students presents scores of beautiful and instructive color photos. Here in a single volume are the insights and techniques for producing handsome, highly professional-looking designs. More than 300 color illustrations. Review: Delivers what the title says... - I'm somewhat puzzled by reviews that criticize this book for being too basic, unhelpful, nothing new, etc. The title says it all. As someone who has studied interior design in many formats, I think this is probably better than something you would find in an online lower level college class. So what's wrong with that? That's what the title says it is. I just love how the author breaks so many concepts down to something understandable. Really, so many designers talk "over" their readers' heads or leave important information out. One would be better prepared for any course above basic by reading and understanding the concepts, which are also illustrated. Illustrating a concept is no small task! In a profession which is in a large part, visual, it's difficult to find material with so many straightforward illustrations that, well....illustrate the concept! The photographs are stunning (jeweled colors in some, which I'm a sucker for). This book doesn't promise to help you create anything in particular, it just explains the basics of design, which are necessary to come up with any and all designs. The creativity part is up to you. I think a lot of the design concepts here could be applied to just about anything, not just interior design. I love this book and you will find me today with it in front of me as I read it, absorb it, and get a new take on the design concepts I learned in school. Review: amazing book - Very informative book for those looking into starting out in the interior design field. Easy read with great examples of past projects. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,749,307 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,849 in Interior Design #2,354 in Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement (Books) #3,052 in Home Decorating (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 400 Reviews | ## Images ![Interior Design Course: Principles, Practices, And Techniques for the Aspiring Designer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51V7DDKBH7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delivers what the title says... *by S***R on August 15, 2012* I'm somewhat puzzled by reviews that criticize this book for being too basic, unhelpful, nothing new, etc. The title says it all.
