Your home is your haven – especially during challenging economic times. It’s where you feel safe, connected with those closest to you, and protected from the world outside.

Do your current design choices create the sanctuary you so want and need when you walk in your door at the end of each day?

They should!

And never before have the building blocks of design been so accessible.  Design television is available round-the-clock.  The Internet has made it possible to shop globally for a vast of array of products. Inspiration and advice can be found on hundreds of design websites, photo galleries and blogs.  Free software and mobile apps will help you select the right paint color, match fabrics and draw a floor plan.  Your choices are endless—maybe even overwhelming!

You know your space isn’t working for you … but when it comes to actually making decisions, you have no idea where to start or how everything will come together. Store displays, scenes in magazine articles and your own imagination wreak havoc on your ability to take action.

You’ve probably realized that learning a new skill (or even a new board game) is easiest when you just start doing it – and that’s why we’ve designed our book and workbook: to help you take those first steps toward actually designing a specific space.

Because we love design and know the key to success is making all the pieces work together just right, we wrote How to Design Your Perfect Interior, and created its companion, How To Design Your Perfect Interior Workbook, to help you organize your thoughts and prepare you for the process.  Whether you plan to tackle your own project, get a little design advice from friends, neighbors or online resources, or hire a professional interior designer to navigate the hundreds or even thousands of decisions you will make, preparation is vital.

How to Design Your Perfect Interior provides information, options, direction and decision tools so you can make a wise and educated decision about how to achieve your perfect interior.  It is full of insider tips and insights from experienced interior designers that can help save you time and money, whether you decide to do it yourself or engage a professional.

Before you start your design project, you will want to know:

•  The most common and costly mistakes to avoid
•  What to watch for when buying online
• Questions you need to answer before you make any design decisions
• Eight steps to achieving success with your interior design project
• Where to go when you need help and how to select the best service provider for your project

Lots of books, magazines, TV shows and websites show you great design, and some will give you decorating tips. Typically, though, they offer one tip at a time – lighting, or paint colors, or furniture placement. On the other hand, How to Design Your Perfect Interior goes further: it helps you create a cohesive space because NOW, you think like a designer.

The result: you create the space you’ve been hoping for, with ALL the elements of design.

“This book has information that anyone considering an interior design project should study and use as a reference.  And it’s not just for someone who’s a “DIY-er.”  As a design professional, I truly like having these many elements separated and defined.  It can only streamline an effective project, engage conversations and clarify terms for designer and client.  The information about the construction phase is a wonderful reminder!”
