中文简介：

室内设计师莱斯利·班克（Leslie Banker）从小跟着她的母亲学习装饰。她母亲教给她最重要的东西是像一个装饰家一样思考，专注于发展空间和居民的故事。这个故事是赋予一个地方风格、深度、性格和它自己独特的外观，最重要的是让住在那里的人感到快乐。本书将告诉读者如何做到这一点。

班克教读者如何深入挖掘并清晰表达吸引他们的东西。她解释了如何为项目定锚，无论是最喜欢的油漆颜色还是继承的家族作品，以及在家中舒适生活的必要条件。班克还介绍了如何确定目前不起作用的东西，例如每天堆积在角落的背包，以及如何解决即将出现的不可避免的问题，例如墙上的油漆颜色变得很花哨。

本书诙谐有趣，并附有知名设计师的问答，包括Alexa Hampton、Tom Scheerer、Amanda Nisbet、Katie Ridder和Christopher Spitzmiller，告诉你如何在家中快乐地生活。

英文简介：

Interior designer Leslie Banker grew up learning the trade by her decorator mother's side. The most important thing her mother taught her was that thinking like a decorator means focusing on developing the story of the space and its inhabitants. That story is what gives a place style, depth, character, and its own unique look, as well as—most importantly—makes the people who live there happy. Think Like a Decorator shows readers how to do just that.

Banker teaches readers how to drill down and articulate what appeals to them. She explains how to drop anchors for the project, whether it's a favorite paint color or an inherited family piece, and what is essential to living comfortably in a home (hint: enough chairs at the dinner table). Banker also covers how to identify what is not working currently (the pile of backpacks that grows at the end of each day in that neglected corner) and how to solve the inevitable issues that will arise (the paint color that turned garish on the wall).

Witty and entertaining, with Q and As from noted designers including Alexa Hampton, Tom Scheerer, Amanda Nisbet, Katie Ridder, and Christopher Spitzmiller, Think Like a Decorator is, ultimately, about how to live happily and well at home.
