Presents tip: Dekobücher below tree!
"Christmas is getting closer every day, and so is the annual question of the perfect Christmas present." For those who have a real deco heart in their breasts, I have chosen eight wonderful deco books, which would be a very nice Christmas present - of course give yourself best suited!
With these books, I let myself be inspired anew every day and get fresh ideas for my apartment and my blog. But now in turn:
Dekobücher I: For passionate hobbyists
"Design * Sponge at Home" is a gem for the home library. Although a German edition has not yet been published, the book speaks for itself. Grace Bonney is an internationally renowned blogger and her blog "Design * Sponge" fascinates with a great selection of DIY ideas. Anyone who likes to lend a hand and tinker with it will find practical tips and ideas on almost 400 pages in this book. In the first part, the book introduces beautiful living ideas and then leads to creative craft ideas - from small pieces of furniture to textiles and decorations for the home. A separate chapter is devoted to the art of flower decoration and, as a conclusion, a "before - after" chapter completes the book. Great gift for passionate hobbyists!

Dekobücher II: For individual aesthetes
I consider my home not perfect - in a positive sense! And that's where the book "The Perfectly Imperfect Home" comes into play. Deborah Needleman, the former editor-in-chief of the US magazine Domino, presents ideas and inspirations in her book on how we can bring our very personal character into our home - without fear of breaking the rules. On the contrary, it is precisely these small peculiarities that characterize a beautiful home. The book, currently available only in English, guides the reader from room to room and also highlights aspects such as cosiness, glamor and peculiarities in interior design and decoration. In addition, the book differs from all previously presented Dekobüchern: This book completely dispenses with real photographs and instead uses enchanting illustrations with water colors. This gives the book a very unique, artistic aura. The perfect Christmas present for individual aesthetes!
