“Your House, Your Home: Randy Florke’s Decorating Essentials,”

by Randy Florke, (Hearst Books, $14.95)

Randy Florke is a contributing editor at Country Living magazine who encourages readers to put the “living” back in their rooms. Florke believes that “keeping up with the Joneses” has resulted in pretentious interiors that repel people rather than renew them. He relies on the warmth and coziness of America’s heartland to create the kind of rooms that people want to be in. Think fresh gingham, embroidered bedclothes and pale shades of yellow, blue and ivory. Fetching photos underscore this book’s charm as Florke outlines his three-pronged approach to design: comfort, economy and color.
