DESCRIPTION:
The next four chapters give an overall picture of each archetype, and explore the emotional underpinnings that lead to each type's decorating preferences. Do you love bright, airy rooms with sheer curtains that allow light to flood in? Or are you attracted to intimate, jewel-box rooms with rich fabrics and colors? Are you most comfortable when nestled among pretty objects to touch and enjoy, or do you want your home to be free from all clutter? These decorating choices aren't just a matter of taste. But if you're an Adventurer, your domestic bliss would more likely be found in a lively dwelling that bursts with color and surprise. Most important, it offers the language and the tools to understand and express your one-of-a-kind style..

If you a. Unique approach to style KDiNobile This unique book addresses decorating styles based on personality - the visionary, the artisan, the idealist and the adventurer. It contains quizzes to test your style and then shows examples of each type of room for each of the four styles. I liked the page of each style section that states -"You may be an artisan if " and it lists different traits. Also at the end of each style is the alphabet for each style - and it gives buzz words for each style. Very unique and creative; fun to read with good ideas.. An intelligent, witty, gorgeous book of interior design A Customer This is an intelligent, witty, gorgeous book of interior design. It's based on the theory that there are roughly 4 personality types (the reader takes an immensely satisfying quiz to determine his/her type(s)), and it offers decorating ideas--illustrated by sumptuous photos--for all 4 types, in all major rooms of the house or apartment. No dorky kountry kitsch, no impossibly impractical avant-garde posturing. Just beautiful, practical, hip decorating ideas from a variety of personality perspectives. I love this
