From FREDERIC magazine, the best – and most unexpected – decorating pro tips and tricks of the trade in one accessible guide

Decorate Like a Decorator highlights the decorating tricks that only experienced designers know how to pull off – until now! Culled from FREDERIC magazine’s educational columns, this book shares with readers more than one hundred decorator pro moves: like how to use stripes on the bias, upholster doors, deploy curtain tiebacks, hang plates on the walls, and fabricate bespoke lampshades.

Divided into twenty-one chapters covering everything from pelmets and valances, trim, upholstery ideas, slipcovers, folding screens, and fabric-covered walls, to accent paints, bedspreads, decorative lampshades, scenic wallpaper, and more it’s a lavishly illustrated cheat sheet for what it takes to transform a room from standard to sensational.

Decorate Like a Decorator features rooms by some of the world’s most celebrated interior designers, among them Charlap Hyman & Herrero, Billy Cotton, Sara Ruffin Costello, Veere Grenney, Rita Konig, Redd Kaihoi, and Tom Scheerer, and best-known photographers, including François Halard, Stephen Kent Johnson, Francesco Langnese, and Simon Upton. This is the first book by FREDERIC magazine, a new and refreshing voice in design where beauty has no limits and quality has no compromise
