Review: Indespensible tool for interior designs - Surprisingly this book was not required for either my interior design undergrad or masters courses, but it should have been. I read it cover to cover! The out-of-date image belies the excellent quality of the information. I hope I can get it on my kindle so I can carry the info with me for design meetings to calculate quickly yardages for price estimates. The book provides a great collection of forms for easily figuring yardages and prices! It offers concrete "decorating" info that is often neglected in big design schools, like figuring drapery fullness. This is more than a book; it is a design tool!

It does have lots of examples, numbers (which are out of date because of inflation) and some graphics. I would say it is a great book for any beginner or professional. ## Frequently Bought Together - Techniques for Estimating Materials, Costs, and Time for Interior Designers - Specifying Interiors: A Guide to Construction and FF&E for Residential and Commercial Interiors Projects - Interior Design Materials and Specifications: Bundle Book + Studio Access Card --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1705477-techniques-for-estimating-materials-costs-and-time-for-interior-designers](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1705477-techniques-for-estimating-materials-costs-and-time-for-interior-designers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
