Unique approach to style 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 book.

Then the fun begins, as a question is posed: "What would you do with a naked sofa?" A basic sofa is shown with an all-out treatment for each personality type: satin pillows and classic flanking end tables for the Visionary; printed cotton pillows, a teddy bear, and an afghan for the Artisan; sleek leather coverings and a bare floor for the Idealist; four contrasting cloth coverings and leopard-print and shag pillows for the Adventurer.
