Average Customer Ratings:

Acclaimed as one to the country's top one hundred interior designers by both Metropolitan Home and Architectural Digest, Vicente Wolf is the uncontested master of cool, luminous rooms that combine strength and sensuality. From a rich but disciplined palette of materials, he creates a signature minimalism that is simple, handsome, and eminently comfortable. In Learning to See, Wolf shares the secrets of his alchemy, insights into a design process that he says starts with taking his traveler's eye into every environment. If you, like he, can simply transfer the special excitement and intense sensations you feel when you are in nature or when you first encounter something exotic to the way you want to feel on entering a room for the first time, you can learn to see. With incisive text and more than one hundred sixty photographs, Wolf walks you through this process. While providing step-by-step instructions on such practical matters as how to create floor plans, treat windows, arrange furniture, hang pictures, use flowers and mirrors and other accents, he helps instill confidence to trust your own aesthetic inspiration.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Very worthwhile -
One of few exceptional decor books out there. Set apart from the rest because the writer gives the reader very valuable tips - information not easily picked-up by just looking at photographs which is what so many other decor books are filled with. It is by far one of the best books in my decor book collection.

One of my favorites -
A beautiful book with good advice. Mr.Wolf presents his talent and vision for decorating chic rooms as well as his unique perspective on what works and what doesn't. Here's to an original!

beautiful book -
Vicente Wolf is a great designer with a clean, modern yet luxury driven aesthetic. His interiors are always chic with little surprises thrown in like gilt Louis XV chairs tossed around a modern round table. Love that. The book is a great resource for color (which he actually gives Ben Moore specs) and for spacial planning. He tends to wax poetic about design and his vision...blah, blah, blah, but the photographs speak for themselves.

Excellent Design insights -
I am planning on becoming a decorator in the future and this book was an excellent inspiration as well as a great resource for ideas and thinking outside of the box.
It's a sophisticated view of the home, not just typical how to's that leave you with a stale idea of how to decorate. Rather each page is a refreshing and dynamic look at different ways to design a room.
No cheesy floral valances or typical catalog rooms. These pages are filled with thought provoking furniture and color choices to stimulate your own creativity.

a REAL power to SEE -
This book is beatiful in its layout and composition, as well as the concepts presented ... and it's helping me see and create more pleasing compositions in my world - both in my physical environment and with my photography.
