This book first published in 1997, will hold up for a long long time because the classic ideas offered by Nina are quite timeless.

Another word (besides "classic") to describe Nina's style of re-decorating is "opulent". The interiors that Nina was asked to remodel were very high end to begin with (eg: the 200 year old estate, or the Gothic mansion, etc), and in order for Nina to balance the architecture and existing furniture, Nina was able to carry out many color coordinated projects.

I gave this book 4 out of five stars only because I wish Nina had included some "Before" photos. She does describe the interiors' dilemmas in writing, before she engaged in her decorating projects, but a few photos would have helped the reader to visualize the transitions more appropriately. Also, some of the ideas are over the top for the average home owner, especially in terms of fabric combinations (eg: mixing Tartans with flowers and tiny fabric prints). But all in all this is a book that is worth having in a library, especially if the reader is an actual decorator or architect because Nina is a very famous name in the industry.

Excellent book

i got this book to compare her style vs the colefax & fowler style. But my taste has switch to modern & minimalist ie john pawson since i got this book. So i dont find it as interesting..

the more interesting question is whether old-money look will come back. If so, then this book may help rehash it w/ more contemporary vision of old money

I love Nina Campbell's work and have admired her for years. This book is somewhat dated but still full of great photo's of timeless rooms. Well worth the purchase price.

I have the English edition of this book (called Nina Campbell on Decorating), same number of pages, same copyright date, identical book size, inside look at how she worked with ten clients, so I believe it is the same book with a different title and cover picture (stuff that is typically altered when a book crosses the Atlantic).
The photographs are lovely, showed to their full advantage in this oversized book, accompanied by easy-to-read text that brought me into the dilemmas and solution process for each of the ten houses. Sometimes I disagreed with the results because decorating is a subjective art, but I loved discovering Nina's decorating philosophy. For example, on page 79 she says "Undoubtedly, my client will add paintings as he finds them. A house that is complete from the minute the owner walks in is not an ideal home. In the early stages a room needs to be 'en route,' as it were. You should be able to invite your friends to a party without being embarrassed that it's 'not quite finished."
Of course, Nina's comments also give us insight into how a designer works with a client, including some funny episodes such as the time she was confused about which way a painting a client owned should be hung - she thought vertical, and it turned out horizontal was the artist's intention!
Nina's style tends toward the formal and elegant, but anyone could learn from her approach to decorating. An enjoyable book to read, I'm looking forward to sharing it with some friends of mine who are designing a home - who could resist a wall of books in the study that is really a door? And her decorating tricks, such as lowering a high ceiling by painting it with a mottled texture, can be used by anyone.

In addition to the beautifully photographed work, a very enjoyable glimse in Miss Campbells own home and world filled with The Beautiful People.

Maybe a little dated but still some great ideas.
