As one of today’s most sought-after designers, Amanda Nisbet brings a fresh, energetic approach to the traditional sense of luxury. Color, texture, and form blend to create her trademark comfortable elegance, and her work seamlessly balances function and style, classicism and modernism, in beautifully unexpected ways. With over 250 spectacular photographs of New York City apartments, country houses, and Hamptons beach homes, this extraordinary volume will show readers how to bring punch and color to classic rooms.

Whether you are designing a brand new home or simply updating one room’s interior, Decorate is teeming with clever, creative and quirky advice from the world’s best designers and architects.

The likes of Jonathan Adler, Kelly Hoppen, Amy Neunsinger, Rita Konig, Amy Butler and Abigail Ahern reveal essential tools of the trade, from where to put your furniture to how to dress a room with your own individual style. The book is a gorgeous source of essential expert guidance, featuring both quick fixes for small budgets and indulgent ideas for more ambitious projects.

The text is divided into sections, each punctuated with top tips, pearls of decorating wisdom and divine designer secrets:

‘Space Matters’ has a blank-canvas approach, showing you how best to assess a space and work out its specific decorating needs. A section on ‘Setting Your Style’ profiles a huge range of different interior aesthetics, from Natural and Fleamarket Style to Modern Glamour and Eclectic. ‘Room By Room’ concentrates on each room of the house and tells you what you need to know to transform any area. Finally, ‘Attention to Detail’ reveals the smaller elements that can utterly transform a space, without affecting the architecture or structure of a building. These final touches include hanging pictures, arranging flowers, cushions and lights.

Decorate’s vast selection of styles, boasting contributions from the industry’s top designers, makes it an essential book for anyone looking to transform their home’s interior

Whatever kind of home you live in - from a high-rise condo on Miami Beach to a glass-enclosed "cabin" in the Pacific Northwest to a New York City townhouse or a ranch house in Dallas - Decorate has something to offer. With its focus on current trends, this book offers advice and insight from some of the top designers working today.

The 33 projects that are collected in this book are artfully photographed and informatively explained. It will give you so many ideas about transforming the home you own into your dream house, that you'll want to start repainting your living room as soon as you spot your favorite room in the book. Decorate concentrates on design and decoration, rather than new construction or structural renovation, hoping that the lessons of each location included will be realistic goals for many homeowners.

Many of the houses, apartments, condominiums, and townhouses that appear in the book are the homes of the professionals who designed them. Others were created for clients. Some of the decorators are at the top of their profession. All of the locations demonstrate important aspects of what is happening in design today.

If the pictures are meant to inspire, however, the text is designed to show you how - or at least give you some insight into what kinds of questions to ask when the time comes to create your own before and after photos. Straight-shooting advice from the pros help you avoid costly errors, a "Key to the Style" box explains the designer's approach and concepts, and "What the Pros Know" sidebars help you gain insight into the ways in which the theoretical becomes possible no matter what kind of home you have.
