Principals of Home Decoration

Although written more than a century ago, Principals of Home Decoration contains some timeless tips for decorating your home to reflect your and your family´s personality and lifestyle.

At the same time, if you enjoy decorating or are a professional in this area, you will enjoy a glimpse at home decorating history. The author not only discusses popular styles of her time but shows a keen sense of decoration that preceded her own time.

A few pictures are included as well. They're black and white so they won't help out much to illustrate color schemes but you will be able to learn from other aspects of the decoration.

Enjoy and check back often as we continue to add more tips, articles and online books about decorating and more than twenty other topics.
