[.uk] The Space Planner: A Home Decorating Design Workbook (ISBN 0811852903)

Improvement over other similar titiles but...:
I was hoping for something that could be used for our designers and maybe I was looking for to much. I own a Home Decor store along wiht my wife and have tried to use different project planning guides/books. This space planner though well laid out and offering good prompting questions for the non-professional, had little new info. If you are non-computer literate and want to play with a few ideas it may be just fine but rather laborsome to use on a regular basis.

nice:
Pretty cool, wish it had a dry erase marker with it and less book. I mainly just wanted the stickers to map out models I do.

great idea:
if u just got a new home, or u are planning a move in the future this book is for you, it helps u decide how to organize and decorate every room, you cant go wrong with this one, great tips and ideas!!

A must for anyone decorating their home!:
When we purchased our first home we had a million things to purchase and plan out when it came to rooms. This workbook has nice large grid pages as well ad"budget sheets" to help you figure out how much you are spending on paint/accessories. This book went everywhere with me from getting carpet estimates to picking up gallons of paint. The book even has a few pages of pockets to hold inspiration pictures as well as plastic furniture pop outs in the back to use when planning. In terms of all the work books of this type I looked at I was most happy with this simply designed medium sized one.

Larger scale would be much better.:
This is a very complete space planner, templates for all sizes and shapes of furniture, and quite a bit of advice on space planning. However, the scale used was just too small for comfortable use. I ended up using my own larger scale graph paper and made my own larger templates, which is what I've done for years. None of the space planners available use a large enough scale in my opinion. But this is a very complete book and guide -- providing you have 20-20 vision.
