blown away!
I absolutely loved every single thing about this book. Emily had me eager to turn the page and find out what treasure laid ahead. The images are beautiful and the amount of practical information Emily provides is invaluable. This is not your everyday table top book this is your personal journey to creating a stunning home. 10 out of 10.

Great book to have
Love this book. great for people interested in making their homes prettier. The author seems very sweet and nice - I thought she was British but turns out she is American. Her style is not for everyone though. I would say quite of an emphasis on vintage stuff - flea markets and antique shops are essentials for getting to the kind of style she promotes.

Learnt quite a few new tips
I like this book, it is informative and the pictures are lovely. I have applied some of the tips around my home and it worked really well. This book wouldn't be for someone who likes the minimal look. It would suit those of us who are like me, a bit bohemian. Some of the vignettes I felt were a bit impractical, unless you have a huge home. I love the layering illustrations, it is not something I would have thought of doing, but it works and looks fab.All in all it is a great reference guide with unusual design ideas and fun!

halfway between interiors and 'how to tidy' your house, with wonderful effect
This book has a massive twist on any other decorating book I've ever read: it's by a highly experienced stylist on interiors photoshoots, and it's about how to ARRANGE your house to look better.... Forget knocking down walls and doing a loft extension, it's the simple art of arranging stylishly the things you already own.First in the book, Henderson will have you thinking about what your core style is, via an extensive quiz, so that you know whether you're aiming for minimalist or something more busy and vintage. Secondly, transform your space: ten steps for getting on with it, including making a moodboard and using a camera to help you 'see' where it's not working.Then there are specific chapters on each area of the house with specific tricks and hints, from creating a gallery wall to arranging things in rows. It's bizarre, fussy, and yet it totally sorts a room out. I just love this book and I'm already learning so much from it, having only just bought it. BRILLIANT.

GREAT book!!
I LOVE this book!! Plenty of practical tips, beautiful pics. You can see that Emily put a lot of effort to share her professional background in a easy way to understand. She wants the reader to get inspired by colours, shapes, textures.

Nice content, but thin shiny pages.
Wanted to love this as I really like the stylist's website. And the content of the book seems good. But I had assumed the book itself would be coffee table quality in its production and so nice to handle and that isn't the case here. It's printed on thin, shiny paper which means that images show through from other pages, and you can't read it with any kind of directed light as the reflected glare obscures the images. The pages are actually wavy rather than lying flat which I assume is because the paper is too thin for the volume of image print. I spent a while holding it at an awkward angle to avoid the glare of my reading light, and smoothing out the pages in order to see the images clearly, but it was a disappointing experience and I don't feel value for money.

5 STARS!
Stunning interior styling book by the stunning Emily Henderson! Really lovely photographs which I have not seen elsewhere, always a challenge with Pinterest and Instagram! Loaded with really good tips on how to style a variety of different things like your mantel, sofa, coffee table etc. The style quiz is a great fun element! Emily gives the reader tips on how to style one's home like a professional stylist, breaking it down into layman's language. I have many interior design books, and this one is completely different. This is definitely a HOW-TO book and for that reason I think it's going to appeal to a wide range of people, from professionals to those who don't have a clue about how to style their own homes. This one is going in the basket again, to be purchased for my sister who is going to LOVE IT!
