- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2017You will love this book! So inspiring with so many great ideas and wonderful photographs. I love her style and she generously shares her thought processes and sources for everything. Style choices that are affordable and design ideas for rooms that reflect the family's personality. I have all her books and recommend them highly. You won't be disappointed. I would be remiss if I didn't mention her pups, Jack and Lily - darling photo peering out the kitchen Dutch door! I love the way her style incorporates them fully and easily into the family. I know many of us feel that way about our companion animals. I refer to her website all the time TheInspiredRoom.net and follow her on Facebook and Instagram.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2017This little book is packed with ideas and color photos. I have Melissa's other books and love them all. I don't always re-read my books but hers I do. I love her writing style-it's like sitting with a friend chatting over a cup of coffee or tea. (With her it would be coffee!) The only negative I can say about this book is that I've seen either these photos, or ones like them before. Since I have her other books (and follow her blog, The Inspired Room) I'm already familiar with her home photos. Maybe in her next book she can include pictures of other homes that are similar to her style? Just a thought. All in all I'd buy this book again. Definitely a favorite author!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017Full of simple ideas that won't cost an arm and a leg if you live in a small place. Also great pictures. I don't want to read about decorating I want to see it.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2017The writing in this book is okay, it's genuine. It's also extremely basic and not anything I haven't read or seen before. The book is also a VERY small paperback not much more than a magazine. There are less inspirational photos that I would expect as well. Overall I wouldn't purchase again.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2017I look at a lot of design books so this one had no earth shattering ideas but is a great summary for basic, good design. I gave it to my newly married daughter to help her set up her new home.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2021I am looking for as many ideas as I can to make my home a very welcoming place and also a place where I can become more creative .
- Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2020Melissa’s books are always wonderful! They encourage me to clean, decorate and organize my house.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2019I loved the easy to read manner in which this book was written. Easy to implement ideas. Great pictures

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too much useful advice
Many advice on mood etc... Very few useful advice. Useful advice coul be just three pages long. Pictures only include blue and white, not many examples of other combination of colours.
