The Book of Home Design Using Ikea Home Furnishings

Rating:
Summary: Handsome but useless
Review: I like IKEA stores very much, but this book is useless. Nice settings, fun furniture, but it's basically a catalog. And not everything you see is still available from IKEA, so it isn't even a very reliable catalog at that.

Summary: Handsome but useless
Review: This book is ideal for anyone looking for fresh and creative ideas in a modern/contemporary style. Ideas for every room in the house accompanied with beautiful photographs and helpful text. Design focuses on form, function, light, and environmental soundness. This is just what the doctor ordered if the typical traditional/classic and country/cozy aren't your style. Works great for people moving into their first apt./house too- good, practical, easy to imitate ideas (and Ikea furnishings that are easy on your budget!).

Summary: They don't tell you WHICH furniture comes from IKEA
Review: This is a very nice design book with beautiful photographs but the author leaves out some very important information. He/She does not indicate WHICH pieces come from IKEA. Looking through the photos, I'd say the majority of the furniture does NOT come from IKEA. It was nice to look at but IKEA's in-house publication called Space magazine does a lot better job.
