Color, Space, and Style: All the Details Interior Designers Need to Know but Can Never Find Paperback – October 1, 2007

good for staging and sketching

Defintiely a book that every Interior designer needs. I also bought the blue book of this series and I love it!

This is excellent for either building or renovating a home and is still timely.

this book is kind of like a manual without the dogma of being one. This book doesn't tell you how to do anything. It just presents facts and the such.It has a lot of things that you should have memorized or at least have a simple knowledge of. It is great for students of both architecture and interior design because it has information useful to both.My girlfriend is a layperson in the construction/ architecture field and she asked to borrow it. It has useful things like the differences in types of paint and other materials. Things that aren't really thought about all that much but are useful and important non the less.I would recommend this book to add to one's reference library.

Color, Space and Style is a plethora of useful information, tips of the trade, ideas, and resources at your fingertips.The content is easy to read and understand with well thought out categories.Full color pages outline the design process from start to finish.It is obvious a great deal of energy, time and effort went into its creation. A must read for anyone interested in interior design and design related fields, in fact would be an excellent tool in a teaching environment.Bravo!

It contains a little bit of everything you need to know about interiorism... Practic if using as a sourcebook :)

This book was required reading for the intro to design class I am taking. The first few chapters are dry and technical, but once you get into how materials are made and what goes into design it is a great book. I am sure I will refer to this manual often throughout my design education.

I bought this book to add to my collection and the description did not mention it was almost identical to the "Interior design reference" book that i already had purchased. Did not want to deal with sending it back and just gave it to another person.

As a new freelance designer, this book is almost sacred to me. It covers everything (apart from details on pricing and costs etc) and in just enough detail too. The sections are broken down to well-organised categories and it is easy to skim through when you're in a rush to find something. Definitely recommend to graduate designers, junior designers and anyone else who needs a helping hand.

Very good book and good for new interior design students and also great reference for projects.
