Industry Reviews IKEA, the Swedish chain store that is the largest furniture retailer in the world, has revolutionized the sale of home furnishings with its inexpensive, contemporary-styled product that appeals to the cost-conscious, the young, and the trendy. Using IKEA merchandise to illustrate, Parikh describes the principals of home decorating. More than just an advertisement for the store, this book gives practical decorating advice as well as instructions for a few projects, such as distressing a cupboard and making "no-sew" drapes. Other books such as Terrence Conran's The Essential House Book (Crown, 1994) and Creative Interior Design (Ward Lock, 1994) provide more comprehensive information, but, this book is still recommended for large collections and for libraries near IKEA outlets.
