The Anatomy of a decor project and the Styleprint Design System created by Karen Powell is thought provoking while instilling confidence that we can all be active and successful participants in designing the work or home environment we would love.”
Karen wrote this book for me! I am a lifelong ‘do-it-yourselfer’ decorator with many ‘it seemed like a good idea at the time’ decorator projects under my belt and at various levels of completion. The only word I can use to describe The Styleprint Design System is WOW! The information in this book, presented in Karen’s comfortable, helpful, ‘let’s chat over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine’ style, wowed me by its down-to-earth, logical, ‘I now feel empowered,’ step-by-step process to transform the spaces I call home into a space and place that is a true reflection of me, my lifestyle, my place to work, live, entertain, relax, and rejuvenate. I’m excited to have this tool in my ‘do-it-myself’ decorator toolbox as I look to tackling projects in my twelve-year-old home.”
What a relief! Through this book, Karen Powell has made the overwhelming task of decorating completely manageable and enjoyable. Professionals as well as newbies to decorating will benefit from this straightforward, progressive, and completely doable approach to decorating. Dig in, and you will be excited by all the opportunities that lie ahead of you!
Do not read this book if you’re expecting some theoretical treatise on interior design. This book is full of practical, hands-on advice on how to decorate a room in a simple but elegant manner. Using the step-by-step Styleprint Design System, you’ll turn frustration into fascination when you see just how easily you can produce a finished product like the pros! Karen has a way of making things easy. If you’ve ever seen a room designed by Karen’s Decor&You team, you’ll instantly understand their tag line of ‘Love the space you’re in.’ This book is a must read for anyone who wants to decorate and hear the inevitable, ‘Wow!’
I pleaded, I begged, I even made that face (you know the one) to get her not to include trademarked information, but Karen was insistent on sharing the inner secrets to decorating gleaned over her thirty years of education, experience, and sometimes excruciating business lessons. The StylePrint Design System is the one book that takes the decorating and design training you previously couldn’t obtain without a significant investment of time and money and marries it with practical business formulas that deliver a business you can not only love but one that delivers bottom line results.
If you are a decorator in training, a hobby decorator, or a decorator/designer that loves the home fashions industry yet struggles with practical business dollars and sense (not measly cents!) this book may boost your passion and your P&L.”
Finally! A personal blueprint everyone can easily use to create the best in their home. Long overdue! Well done, Karen.
The StylePrint Design System provides an excellent road map for creating beautiful spaces that people love to live in. This common sense, step-by-step system takes the guesswork—and the stress—out of decorating. I use this system with all of my clients!”
