Not so good.....
rating: 2

BH&G apparently just threw this one together....not really sure why.

The only redeeming factor here is the eye candy....no new or good information to speak of.

Color schemes presented were not well executed or demonstrated in my opinion.

I would pass on this one .....

Nice color pictures let you see what the room would look like. If you are a collector of decorating books, purchase the hard cover version - the soft cover won't hold up as well.

Just Okay
rating: 3

I'm a big fan of the Better Homes and Gardens books but this one fell short. I thought the photography was either too bright or too dark. Many of the rooms had small pictures so it was difficult to see details. The color combinations were uninspired or unattractive. Many of them caught my eye because the colors were just plain ugly. LOL

The reason I am giving it 3 stars is because of the before and after pictures, which I really like in decorating books and the information in the text is good. There are better books out there, even in the BH&G series.

Simple and helpful
rating: 4

Simple is the key. This book provides descriptive suggestions for any color scheme. How to punch up a white room, what colors look great with black and white, or maybe just showing a hint of color in your room. Broken up into many colors and moods and it helps you to create wonderful rooms with more suggestions of colors and accents. Nice 110 page book that fits easily on my shelf...
