Home Decor Cheat Sheets and Giveaway

home decor July 29, 2016

Today I have a fun surprise for you! I was recently introduced to a super handy decorating book that anyone can understand and use. The book is called Home Decor Cheat Sheets and it’s filled with easy-to-understand diagrams and information. I really love this book and I was thinking you’d love it too, so I’m giving away a free copy to one lucky winner!

Home Decor Cheat Sheets. Your Handy Decorating Guide.

If you’re like me, you’d rather look at drawings that explain things as opposed to having to read and decipher complicated instructions. This book makes it easy to understand how to place furniture in a room, how to arrange pictures on a wall, and so much more.

 

How to Arrange a Gallery Wall

This illustration shows how to arrange a gallery wall within a confined space (the dots are an imaginary line).

 

How to Arrange a Gallery Wall

And this one shows a different approach, using a midline as a way to arrange pictures or mirrors.

 

How to Arrange a Gallery Wall

Here’s yet another diagram for arranging pictures on the wall. This one is a bit more symmetrical. You’ll find several more examples in the book, making it easy to match up the number and size of pictures you have with one of the illustrations. How easy is that?

 

Types of Sofas. Learn the names of the more popular design styles.

Have you ever wondered what different styles of furniture are called?  Home Decor Cheat Sheets will help to educate you, so you can walk in a store and accurately describe the style of sofa or furniture you prefer.

 

Examples of Tile Patterns - a handy cheat sheet to use

Or maybe you need to know the name of a specific tile pattern to share with your kitchen designer. Other cheat sheets in the book include pairing side tables with chairs, choosing the right size rug, kinds of lampshades, paint finishes, and so on. All the decorating principles and explanations come with these easy illustrations.

 

Home Decor Cheat Sheets. Your Must-Have Decorating Guide

I love this book and plan to use it often. I like simple things (why should life be complicated?) and this book makes decorating much easier and faster. If you’d like a chance to win your own copy of the book, just leave a comment below. I’ll choose and announce the winner next Friday.

 

If you can’t wait until then, you can purchase Home Decor Cheat Sheets online.

Special thanks to Ulysses Press for the gift of the book to review. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.

    This looks like a very interesting book. We recently bought a new home and could use help with decorating. I never quite know where to put things so they look like they belong where I put them. Plus it would be nice to create a décor scheme with new purchases. Thank you.

    Arrangements on walls are my worst. This looks like a great book for people like me who are so indecisive about what looks good and where.

    Love your posts and always look forward to them. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and ideas.
    Even though we have been in our house for years, it is sometimes a challenge to come up with furniture placement, wall decor, and the general ‘keepin’ it fresh’ ideas. The Home Decor Cheat Sheets looks like a great help for those of us that are creatively challenged!

    My fiancé and I jus purchased our first home together and I am trying to decorate it with a farmhouse theme. I’m still reading up on a lot of DIY and this seems to be perfect. I’m sure that I would be able to apply so much of it to decorating our new home. Thank you for the opportunity to win such a helpful tool to have for anyone who’s looking to do some decorating of their own.

    Funny – as I looked at the pages you showed, it seemed too basic and obvious to be made into a book. Then, when I thought about it longer, I realized it’s only easy when it’s spelled out right in front of you!. So very hard when you’re actually trying to create your look from scratch. Love to have this book!!
