Getting a Great Look
Q: How Do I Get a Great Look?
Everyone wants a great-looking interior. Design2Share gets questioned a lot about how to confidently select a great look when there are so many styles to choose from. Bottom line: a great look should really thrill and excite you. This episode covers our design pros' advice and tips on how to be aware of your surroundings, where to find inspiration for your next project, how to see what makes certain design elements good or bad, how to make a large project less daunting, how to use travel to inspire your quest for a great look, and how to find interiors that speak to you. Join Irwin and Nicola as they help you "learn to look."

Irwin and Nicola, we bookworms have been hard at work helping to answer this question, too. Here are some books that will help Design2Share Q&A viewers get a great look for their homes: Traditional Home's Easy Elegance: Creating Your Own Signature Style (Meredith Books 2004); Living Large in Small Spaces: Expressing Personal Style in 100 to 1,000 Square Feet by Marisa Bartolucci (Abrams 2003); the stunningly beautiful Pattern by Tricia Guild (Rizzoli 2006); Rooms by Derry Moore (Rizzoli 2006); and perhaps the fairest of them all, the sublime and eye-popping Inspiration by Tricia Guild (Quadrille 2006) which searches the world for different style inspirations, such as the streets of Venice, Cuban cars, textile patterns, rose gardens, porcelain, and Japanese decor (this book will really train you to look closer at your surroundings to find your personal style).

Great vid. I enjoyed the back and forth between the British Isles accents! Looking forward to tuning in each week to get more design advice. Keep them coming.
