Room Redux can be used in several ways: as an introduction to basic design concepts, as a problem solver, and as a workbook. The book begins with the premise that most rooms are not perfect to begin with, and if you're going to decorate or redecorate a room, you'll have to make the most of its shortcomings. Questionnaires help you assess the strengths and weaknesses of each room and how and where to begin. Eckstut and James provide workable solutions for problem areas common to many homes. Are the windows in your living room too low? Hang the curtain valance higher or mount a shelf above the window and place sculptures or pictures above it. Want to spruce up some boring built-in bookcases? Add new face mouldings, baseboards, and cornices, or hang pictures along the edges. The authors' solutions are often refreshingly quick fixes that don't require a major amount of remodelling-just a bit of time and ingenuity. Suggested projects are marked "quick-fix", "moderate" or "major" so that decorators know ahead of time what they're getting into. The book contains pockets for collecting fabric swatches, pictures, and article clippings. And if you've ever moved a roomful of furniture only to discover its new layout doesn't work, you'll be inspired to use the enclosed graph paper and to-scale punch-out furniture to preplan your room to your liking. Colour drawings present a variety of fabrics and furniture styles, and handy charts provide tips on lighting placement and dimensions for spaces between furniture. Unendingly practical, Room Redux picks up where the coffee-table decorator books leave off. -Kris Law Room Redux can be used in several ways: as an introduction to basic design concepts, as a problem solver, and as a workbook.
