After all, some people were gifted with natural talents that enable them to make their home spaces look like they should be featured in a magazine. I, for one, am no such person. I like all kinds of weird stuff and have no idea how it all fits together (or if it even can). But these interior design books break down some of the key elements of interior design so they’re accessible. Some of them even offer ideas for little projects that you might take on if you’re so inclined. Others feature fun (IMHO) quizzes to help you get a better sense of how your tastes might translate to a beautiful living space. As an added bonus, they are certainly all a pleasure to peruse. By which I mean: they’re really pretty. Whether you’re redecorating your dwelling, moving into a new place, or just looking for inspiration, I’ve compiled a list of interior design books that I hope will give you lots of great ideas. Happy decorating!
