Product Info Reviews

Description:

The concept of British design evokes visions of stately homes, extravagantly grand interiors outfitted with luxurious appointments. That feeling radiates from every lush page of this volume, but there is also much more. In 1997, the British Interior Design Exhibition was held in London, "to offer enlightenment and inspiration to the public with the aim of encouraging people to take a fresh look at interiors and hopefully inspire them with ideas for their own homes." In other words, with this elegant book not only do we get to peek inside the incredible rooms of the "Design House" to see the work of 12 interior designers and architects, but we also get sound, practical advice on how to work with a designer, as well as insider secrets in the form of helpful item-by-item listings of each designer's "First Principles." If you do have the funds to hire a decorator, do your homework here first. And if you're taking on the endeavor yourself, this is one of the best places to start gathering ideas. --Amy Handy
