Domino is one of my favorite shelter magazines simply because it offers so much to so many people. From approachable DIY ideas to luxurious furniture options, the magazine manages to mix styles and budgets while always looking effortlessly chic. Continuing in that tradition, the magazine's new book, Domino: The Book of Decorating: A Room-by-Room Guide to Creating a Home That Makes You Happy ($32) offers something for everyone. Impressively, the decorating guide accomplishes this while never seeming over-generalized or out of touch. Whether I was reading about lighting arrangements for a kitchen or choosing the best bed frame, everything felt relevant.

The book is written in an approachable, friendly tone that anyone can relate to, whether she's decorating her first apartment or her 15th. Chapters take on different rooms, with basic information on furniture and decorating pieces, ideas to steal, explanations of why real-life rooms work, and gorgeous photos and helpful illustrations. Taking readers from room to room, and style to style, you'll learn about proper curtain length, table heights, and ways to get a masculine or modern style (or a "sophisticated froufrou" or "rustic zen" look). One of my favorite features of the book is the "Story of a Room" section of each chapter, which takes you through a Domino employee's room.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone interested in home decorating. It was inspirational for me as well, as I'm currently dealing with rearranging our entryway. Whether you're tackling an entire home or a single room, Domino: The Book of Decorating will provide inspiration and advice for your home decorating dilemmas.

I've grown to love Domino, I used to prefer "Blueprint" but Domino seems to have filled the hole left when Blueprint when under. The book looks great, I'll definitely check it out as I'm always interested in changing the look of my home. (Can't sit still when it comes to decor, always have something in the works...)
1Oh! My husband told me to make a Christmas list and I've been struggling for things to add. This looks like a great option.
2I love this book! I just bought it when B&N emailed me a 15% off coupon which I combined with my discount card. It's absolutely beautiful. It's very much like the magazine: playful, colorful, etc but in book form and it has a ton of useful information and pure eye candy photos.
3Does it have any tips on home offices?
Thanks!
4I had pre-ordered this book from amazon, but haven't had a chance to crack it open yet...I love domino so I am sure that it will be a great read!
5Hi Lawchick--there are lots of great suggestions for home offices. I think you'd find plenty of inspiration.
6I just got this book from B&N. I LOVE it. It is so good. I love the layout, the sections devited to different design asthetics, the little blurbs under the pictures, everything. Such a great book to give as a gift too.
7Thanks casa! I'm ordering it ASAP!!
8You can get the book at 30% off (until the end of the year) with this link that Domino sent me...
