Interior Design 101: Being a Designer, Learning to Clean, and - - - Shelving Kids?!

"Interior Design 101"
Rental Decorating Digest

"Get started with your home or apartment interior decorating project by learning the basics of interior design. Whether you want to transform a space yourself or hire an interior designer, try these tips for home design!..."

Okay, so it's a very commercial website, with lots of ads (mostly on-topic), and the editors clearly wouldn't mind it if you purchased or rented certain products.

It's a pretty good collection of how-to (and what-to) mini-articles. Or, rather, links to the mini-articles. That photo is from "10 Ideas For Using Your Space Effectively" - in the "Getting Organized & Arranging Accessories" section.

Article titles include

• Get Started Decorating
• 3 Elements of Successful Room Design
  • (they're function, mood and harmony)
• So You Want To Be A Home Interior Designer
• Making One Corner Beautiful at a Time
• How to Clean
  • (no, really: some good ideas here)

Bottom line: a pretty good resource. Not bad, actually.
