Design Guides 2.0

Barry Dixon: Inspirations
featured April 2010

As I mentioned in the Celerie Kemble post yesterday, many of you are curious about the books in my design library, so I thought I would share several with you that I believe offer solid, actionable advice and that are written in a way that is not intimidating or overwhelming. And as it happens, many of these interior designers have been featured during Zavvi Rodaine’s first year, so be sure to read their features if you haven’t already to find out why I think they are so special. Many of these design guides are available new or used at book retailers online, but British readers, please check Amazon UK to see if these books are available for you. I promise to share more from my library soon! Happy Reading!

Laurie Smith: Discovering Home

Admittedly, I never watched many of the Trading Spaces shows, but the few that I saw with Laurie Smith were my favorites. And I’ve never featured her work on ZR, but Discovering Home is incredibly useful and very informative especially for design beginners. I’m officially a fan and hopefully I’ll have an interview to share with you soon!
