“Emotional Rooms”
by Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz (Atria Books, $25)
Don’t think there’s a “correct way” to design a room. Noriega-Ortiz believes personal experience is the best inspiration for creating interiors that elicit an emotional response. This guide helps would-be decorators avoid common mistakes like purchasing furniture without considering how well it works in a space, selecting looks to impress rather than reflect, or designing by floor plan. The book includes tips that incorporate elements of architecture, color, furniture selection and lighting to make a room feel just right.
