Customer Reviews

Great natural & eco home ideas

What I really liked was the options to use materials I would never have thought of. Like Zinc for a kitchen countertop.. for low cost and durability it was a perfect choice.. we all know the rage for granite and marble will eventually fall out of favor, and cost of them is prohibitive. This book had many ideas -such as Yaght Enamel-I enjoyed considering for my own home.

Good Broad Overview

This book provides a broad, basic overview of most categories of interior materials, perfect for familiarizing the beginning student of interior design. The focus on issues of sustainabilty and cost makes this book stand out. This book sets out to provide a starting point for further study and research, and is effective in that capacity.
