Design Book Review: Be Your Own Decorator by Susanna Salk


Ill admit it - Im a total design book and magazine junkie...and I know many of you are too :) Book publisher Rizzoli USA has been so kind to send me advanced copies of fresh new design books from time to review and share with you. The latest book I reviewed and cant get enough of is Be Your Own Decorator by Susanna Salk, which was released yesterday (3/27)! This book is packed full of nothing but photos of stunning interiors by some of the industrys leading interior designers, such as Kelly Wearstler, Bunny Williams, Albert Hadley, Nate Berkus, Mary McDonald, and Tobi Fairley. See below for details on this fabulous book. Its a must for every design library, I promise! "Organized into chapters on balance, color, mixing, accessorizing, arrangements, rule breaking, and whimsy, Salk walks through the process of great design, illustrating how the featured designers made the decisions they did to make these rooms look so great. The book’s encouraging, conversational tone, practical tips and ideas, and quotes by the designers themselves explaining their philosophies empower the reader to create stylish, functional, and unique rooms of their very own." {Design by Angie Hranowsky, pg. 47} {Design by Annie Brahler, pg.236} {Design by Diamond Baratta, pg.158-159} {Design by Diane Bergeron, pg.46} {Design by Celerie Kemble, pg.75} {Snapshot from my copy of the book} {Snapshot from my copy of the book} ****** Get your copy of Be Your Own Decorator here!
