Product Description
Elle magazine is well known for its trendsetting in the world of fashion. But fashion can, and should, say the editors of this book, extend into living spaces too. Whether it's one room or a whole home that needs spiffing up, The Elle Decor Home offers easy instruction and inspiration. Aimed at both homeowners and renters, and divided into chapters for each room of the house as well as outdoor spaces, this sourcebook teases out the inner decorator, presenting fabulous examples of how to create a beautiful backdrop for living. A wealth of color photos let readers tour high-style interiors by such fashion luminaries as Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Donatella Versace, Karl Lagerfeld, and Yves Saint Laurent, mixed with images of the homes or ordinary people armed only with taste and imagination. This useful, fun guide shows even reluctant readers how to create a stylish setting out of the most stubborn space.

 FABULOUS BOOK! Worth every penny I spent! December 2, 2008
P. F. Zeno (Inglewood, CA USA)
I only buy books I can preview as I hate returns. To date, I've been very happy with my purchases and with the quality of service Amazon delivers. I was introduced to two great designers I'd never heard of-Stephanie and Kelly Hoppen. How great it is to get a sneak peek inside and find my style-urban contemporary-and enjoy page after page of striking photography. I get carried away.

TOO MUCH FURNITURE, TOO MUCH COUNTRY, TOO MUCH CLASSIC, I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING MORE ACTUAL LIKE THE MAGAZINE
 Blan, Cluttered, and Repetative June 14, 2007

This book's content was a terrible disappointment. First of all, the room setups and designs are absolutely unimaginative. The furnishings look like IKEA purchases and the constant repetition of the designs looked repetitive page after page. There is a cheapness in the furnishings that have no art form to them and they appear to be all made by the same guy with a hacksaw and some pine wood. Sorry, it just has no elegance or variation in its approach. I get the feeling I'm in some kind of small studio apartment with furnishings that are attempting to look modern and cutting edge, but ending up being tacky and noisy. The rooms are extremely cluttered, looking more like storage attics than beautiful living quarters. There is no visual invitation for the viewer to find his way into the settings. The color schemes are drone and blan and the textures are all the same. There is so much repetition of the geometric forms of the rectangle, whether in the pillows, sofas, or decor that it becomes boring within the first few pages. Unfortunately, each page is filled with the exact same look and same mono-note style throughout the whole book. The content is not very informative and simply offer quick snippets of info on the designer's names here and there. I am definitely sending this book back because it was absolutely worthless.
