My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

interior design knowledge

Hello
I’m trying to learn more about interior design (just for my own home, not career), could anyone recommend any good beginner books? My interest is more modern if that has any influence. Thank you
