Lyn Peterson's Real Life Decorating is full of practical advice and solutions for everyday decorating and home-design problems. Unlike other books, which depict museum-like interiors that the average person cannot relate to, this book focuses on real people with lives that include children, pets, a budget, and a need for quality and style that work around their lifestyle. All of this information is from Lyn Peterson, an interior designer with 20 years of experience. Topics include: how to work with color; choosing furniture; using lighting to create atmosphere; developing a style that is not based on the latest fads; and accessorizing. Specific advice for special rooms, such as baths, kitchens, TV rooms, and computer rooms is also provided. Attractive, high-quality four-color photography and illustrations make it easy for readers to learn the basics of design and customize to suit their needs. Readers will repeatedly refer to this book, whether they need help designing an entire room from scratch or are just choosing the right color stain for their floors.
