Interior designer Leslie Banker grew up learning the trade by her
decorator mother s side. The most important thing her mother taught
her was that thinking like a decorator means focusing on developing
the story of the space and its inhabitants. That story is what
gives a place style, depth, character, and its own unique look, as
well as most importantly makes the people who live there happy.
Think Like a Decorator shows readers how to do just that. Banker
teaches readers how to drill down and articulate what appeals to
them. She explains how to drop anchors for the project, whether it
s a favorite paint color or an inherited family piece, and what is
essential to living comfortably in a home (hint: enough chairs at
the dinner table). Banker also covers how to identify what is not
working currently (the pile of backpacks that grows at the end of
each day in that neglected corner) and how to solve the inevitable
issues that will arise (the paint color that turned garish on the
wall). Witty and entertaining, with Q and As from noted designers
including Alexa Hampton, Tom Scheerer, Amanda Nisbet, Katie Ridder,
and Christopher Spitzmiller, Think Like a Decorator is, ultimately,
about how to live happily and well at home.
