Betancourt (Atlanta Georgia) Recently took an Interior Design class and this book has been very helpful to understand color in decoration. The pictures a little old so it could be great if the authors update it. The theory, very useful though!!! Last of 7 "small decor" books rated February 14, 2005 Carol DeChant (Chicago, IL) 10 out of 11 found this review helpful I am irked at this book's deceptive marketing. Unlike other "small space" books, these authors withhold sq-footage measures, but-DUH!-the photos reveal HUGE rooms. Not a trick of the camera, nor an illustration of how their use of color "expands," a typical "small" bedroom featured here accommodates a K-size bed + 3-cushion sofa + huge fireplace + museum size oil paintings & swagged draperies fit for a palace. A living room "seating area" has a 3-cushion sofa + love seat + 3 large upholstered chairs + a day bed + a rocker, all spread around a coffee table big enough to accommodate the 11 people sitting there. Perhaps "small" is relative. My small 3-BR condo is 1400 sq. ft. The average US apt. is 800 sq ft. So if 4,000 sq ft is "small" to you, buy this book, but you'll find color charts that any paint store has, and poor reproduction of colors in the photos. Better yet, buy any decorating mag at the grocery store: even average rooms shown will be smaller than the "smallest" in this book. Disappointed May 18, 2004 7 out of 8 found this review helpful This book does not seem to address small spaces. I guess if you live in a house in the burbs that cost at least a couple of hundred thousand, maybe it will work for you. I live in an apartment in the city and I saw very little that I could use from this book. The color schemes were VERY bland. White/off-white and gold seem to prevail in their color palette. I found this book boring and unuseable. Fortunately I only paid $3 for the book and $3.50 for the shipping; maybe I'll give it to the goodwill and they can find someone who might appreciate it. Majorly disappointed. misguided May 11, 2003 C. Craig (Palm Harbor, FL USA) 12 out of 13 found this review helpful While I agree with the people who have already reviewed this book that the pictures are very good, and the colors combinations are good, I would not say that the authors were guided by the concepts of small spaces that are in the real world. Most of the rooms depicted were hardly the 12x13 bedroom one finds in real homes, or the 8x10 real people kitchen. Most of the rooms looked as though there were very few limitations of space or budget....Hardly what I expected from the title. Color affects how you feel April 4, 2003 Evelyn C. Rysdyk (Yarmouth, Maine USA) 6 out of 8 found this review helpful Color is a powerful way to set a mood, shift an outlook and transform a space. When thinking about colors in a living environment, it's important to decide what atmosphere--what feeling--you'd like to enhance or amplify through colors in that room. The special challenges of a small space can make those decisions even more complicated. Color in Small Spaces : Palettes and Styles to Fit Your Home offers clear guidlines to help master the dizzying world of color! Whether you enjoy subtle and classic or rich and juicy, this book can help you to "color your life beautiful!" Showing reviews 1-5 of 7 1 2 Next »
