Want to decorate your dining room but don’t have a clue where to start?
Interior designer Lauren Smith has the guide for you. In “What Goes With What: Dishes and Dining Areas,” she helps readers determine their general decorating style–formal, semiformal or informal–and then choose dining-room elements that fit.
The book assumes the typical person doesn’t have $20,000 sitting in the bank, waiting to be dropped on the dining room, so it helps estimate costs, set priorities and schedule improvements. It also gives readers a quick education on furniture periods; provides tips on shopping for furniture, dinnerware and linens; and gives ideas for dressing and decorating a dinner table.
