COPY ISBN
Interior designer McClain eases readers into the design process with step-by-step instructions on how to formulate a project plan that takes them from concept to completion. The author says this book isn’t meant to create a look for less. Examples of spaces that he’s redesigned are showcased in an impressive spread of vivid and dazzling pictures of family, dining, and bedrooms, kitchens, home offices and theaters, outdoor spaces, and even surprising areas like spaces below or beside a staircase. The book’s action items are designed to give readers the option to implement just one, some, or all in their own homes and personal decor styles.
VERDICT McClain’s title is an easily digestible, interior design book that would be an asset to any library shelf.
