Inspiration: DOMINO


Everyone needs a little inspiration here and there, especially when fixing your apartment. One of my inspirations happens to be a beautiful book...

DOMINO: The Book of Decorating
(a room-by-room guide to creating a home that makes you happy)

By: Deborah Needleman, Sara Ruffin Costello & Dara Caponigro,
Former Editors of Domino Magazine





Have a sneak peak inside:







DOMINO
's very visual and detailed approach is perfect for non-design people who desire designer-esque output (like myself)!

I particularly love the "how to mix and match" section which shows you why certain pieces would work well together, from table to chairs to mirror to rug, to bed frame to lamp, to little bowl, etc. The book even uses terms like "Sophisticated Froufrou", "Enchanted Mod", "Cultured Irreverence" and "Rich and Handsome" to describe specific styles per room enhancing your visualization process! Fun!

All in all, this is a good read and handy-dandy companion when planning to or in the middle of fixing your home. It doesn't promise you overnight results, but it does get the ball rolling. Remember, your home is a constant work in progress.
