I completely agree with Carol S. There are some principles of interior design that make or break a room; they are simple and they are in this book. With the knowledge I got from this book, I have been able to make my (mostly second-hand) furniture look good in even the wierdest apartments. She also shows you what to do with huge rooms and not a lot of furniture. This isn't at all like the Trading Spaces books which describe how to paint or fake things so they look better. This is about how to rearrange your stuff so it looks better.
