Book Description

Decorating is an art influenced by history, culture, fashion, and even media. THE ART OF INTERIOR DESIGN offers an inside track to achieving distinctive styles within your home. Interior design expert Suzanne Woloszynska guides the reader through a wide range of glorious schemes by leading interior designers, revealing the reasons for their selections, as well as the sources of the materials used. Each chapter focuses on a different style or color scheme, from Victorian romance to contemporary minimalism, from cool blue entrances to spicy orange kitchens. Woloszynska provides insight into the history of the various styles, how color works (or doesn't), how to mix materials and textures, and how lighting can alter a room. Also included are several chapters of stylish ideas for finishing touches to provide that designer flourish. Finally, an invaluable directory provides vital information on the materials shown, along with addresses to help the reader hunt down products. With over 1,000 color photos and a wealth of practical design advice, THE ART OF INTERIOR DESIGN is an essential purchase for novices looking to decorate their first home or professionals seeking new inspiration.

  • It presents over 30 professionally designed interiors and how to select the right fabrics, floorings, and wallcoverings to achieve them.
  • Provides over 1,000 photos showing a wide range of schemes.
  • Includes examples of the elements used to create each particular scheme: fabric swatches, paints, wall coverings, and flooring.
  • Features a directory of suppliers for obtaining many of the elements used in the designs.
  • Great for both novice and professional interior decorators.
