This is the second interior decorating book that I have bought from Better Homes and Gardens. I have found it to be very colorful, helpful and just fun to browse through. I honestly recommend it to those of you who like to try new ideas for your home.

Ironically, there is not much that is "new" in the "New Decorating Book." Anyone who is hoping to find inspiration or fresh ideas is better off buying the magazine or another book. After reading it, I felt as though I had been duped by the "All-New Edition" title.

I have several editions of this book. This most recent one is the best yet. It shows inspirational photographs representing many different styles. It includes tips and insights on what makes that room "pop". A favorite section is when they show the same room done in a different way – love that flexibility! There are great chapters on stylish storage, small houses, and lighting. As a professional interior decorator, I take this book with me to appointments so I can show clients some up-to-date decorating ideas we can consider. If you are serious about decorating, you seriously need this book.

I highly recommend this book! This is by far one of the best decorating books that I have purchased. Lots of iedeas in many decorating styles, all done with class.

There are 72 pages added at the front, aimed for newlyweds, with chapters such as "your first home", "your first living room", etc. Then you will find the 432 pages from the BHG New Decorating Book copyrighted in 2003, which was and still is a nice book. But, if you already own the 2003 book, you probably wouldn’t need to buy this "newlywed" New Decorating Book.

  Are you looking out at a bare patch of ground and wishing you knew what to do with it?

  Look no further than this book, which is chock full of suggestions. One of the smartest things they have done is to give you a photo of the garden as well as a sketch of the garden in color. It means that whether you live in Maine or San Diego you can adapt the design to your weather zone.

  Design ideas include sitting spots, passageways, beds and borders, specialty gardens, flower gardens and color gardens and backyards.

  Even if you have the brownest of thumbs and have never planted anything, this in-depth, practical guide will be of help.

  Gardening is an exercise in creative horticulture that when done well gives as much attention to esthetics as it does all the other elements contributing to a healthy garden. Fundamental to considerations of a garden’s esthetic appearance is its design which can be either formal or informal. Offering more than 110 complete landscaping plans covering a wide range of garden spaces, the "Big Book Of Garden Designs", co-authored by garden design and landscaping experts Marianne Lipanovich and Tom Wilhite, provides even the most novice gardener with practical ideas with respect to specialty gardens, flower gardens, garden beds and borders, sitting spots in a garden, and passage ways. From first impressions and curb appeal, to a horticulturally customized back yard, the "Big Book Of Garden Designs" offers a wonderful combination of practical ideas, inspirations, and examples. Beautifully illustrated throughout, and featuring a chapter on Climate Zones that includes maps and descriptions, the "Big Book Of Garden Designs" is one of the newest additions to the Sunset Books gardening series and a welcome addition to personal and community do-it-yourself gardening guide reference collections.
