A guide to estimating for interior designers. It offers basic information, along with sections on Faux finishing, including trompe l'oeil; Roman shades; using upholstery fabrics for drapery and bed coverings; and more. This edition contains new chapters on hard floor coverings, including marble, stone, wood, painted canvas and vinyl. All material and labour cost figures have been updated. Review: Great condition - Book arrived in great condition. No missing pages or tears. Review: Indespensible tool for interior designs - Surprisingly this book was not required for either my interior design undergrad or masters courses, but it should have been. I read it cover to cover! The out-of-date image belies the excellent quality of the information. I hope I can get it on my kindle so I can carry the info with me for design meetings to calculate quickly yardages for price estimates. The book provides a great collection of forms for easily figuring yardages and prices! It offers concrete "decorating" info that is often neglected in big design schools, like figuring drapery fullness. This is more than a book; it is a design tool!

Great reading for the price!
Got it for my NCIDQ exams. It was a fun reading and plenty if useful information for interior designers and architects. We’ll see if any of this will actually be on the exams, but it’s worth reading it regardless. I’ll enjoy having it in my little library.

the estimate
This is a traditional textbook for interior design curriculum, but is also helpful as a reference in the profession. It does have lots of examples, numbers (which are out of date because of inflation) and some graphics. I would say it is a great book for any beginner or professional.
