Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Interior Decoration There have been many attempts to formulate the principles of interior decoration, and there will no doubt be many more. The final work on any art can never be written, since artistic theory does not precede the practice of creative artists, but follows after. Of the present book I can say truthfully only that it represents a great amount of hard work, now finished. With a profound sense of relief I pass the work of judgment on to the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Interior Decoration If you would have your rooms interesting as well as beautiful, make them say something, give them a spinal column by keeping all ornamentation subservient to line. Before you buy anything, try to imagine how you want each room to look when completed; get the picture well in your mind, as a painter would; think out the main features, for the details all depend upon these and will quickly suggest themselves. This is, in the long run, the quickest and the most economical method of furnishing. There is a theory that no room can be created all at once, that it must grow gradually. In a sense this is a fact, so far as it refers to the amateur. The professional is always occupied with creating and recreating rooms and can instantly summon to mind complete schemes of decoration. The amateur can also learn to mentally furnish rooms. It is a fascinating pastime when one gets the knack of it.

Approached, like temples, through avenues of human or ram headed sphinxes, they con sisted of a series of courts surrounded by colonnades, to which pylons of colossal proportions gave entrance, and of many small chambers occupied by the king, his wives and children, and the officers of his household with their attendants. There were also several sanctuaries dedicated to as many divinities, where the king, who was deified during life, worshipped his own image as well as the images of his ancestors, and took part in other sacred rites.

Download or read book Interior Design Since 1900 Fourth World of Art written by Anne Massey and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly updated and overflowing with color, this well-established history of interior design describes and illustrates each movement and change in taste throughout the twentieth century. Interior design experienced an extraordinary amount of changes in taste and style during the twentieth century. From William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement to expressionism, postmodernism, and green design, Interior Design Since 1900 charts them all. Featuring more than two hundred color illustrations of interiors from around the world, this book reveals the fundamental changes in style that occurred throughout the century. The 1900s saw the emergence of professional designers and a growing appetite to redesign homes to keep up with popular fashion. In recent decades, the focus has shifted toward public spaces and sustainable design. In this survey, Anne Massey explores the social, political, economic, and cultural contexts of these developments. This book has been a classic introduction to interior design for almost thirty years. The new, fourth edition is brought up-to-date with a chapter on transnational design, encompassing mid-century modernist work in Singapore and Sri Lanka, as well as more recent interior spaces, including luxury hotels in Dubai and a contemporary art museum in Cape Town. Through this book, Massey shows how a shared language of design and cutting-edge technology are reshaping interiors around the globe.
Download or read book The Art of Furnishing written by H. J. Cooper and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Furnishing: On Rational and AEsthetic Principles "The little volume is full of excellent suggestions for general guidance, and these suggestions may be applied almost as well to work in one style as to work in another. There is much, that is, which the possessor of a Gothic villa may turn to account; there is much that will be useful to the dweller in a house of the new Queen Anne style, and still more which will be of service to those who, living in the common terraces of our suburbs, desire to make their "interiors" as comely as they may be made without special adherence to a particular style, which circumstances make impossible, but with a general regard to good taste. The writer of this book seems very much impressed with the fact that in the making of our furniture right principles of construction will keep a thing valuable and pleasant, so that we may stick to it all our lives without fear of the caprice of fashion; and it is one of the merits of his book that, while very fully appreciating the great strides that have been made in the art of furniture and decoration during the last half-dozen years, he does not seek to impose on us the adoption of the style that at the moment of writing may chance to be the most fashionable. The writer is a man of practical experience and artistic feeling. He treats first of such matters as painting and papering - the preparation, that is, of the background against which every figure and every object in the rooms will have to be seen; and then he takes us to the furniture itself, suggesting of course, not each particular piece, but a scheme of general arrangement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Furnishing: Practical and Artistic There are few homes in which the furnishings might not be altered or modified to advantage. The point to be kept in View is, in the main, how to unite in the best way practical equipment and artistic effect; and this can be accomplished only by the employment of taste, knowledge, experience and judgment. To furnish a home, therefore, requires serious thought, when the end to be attained is one of harmony, simplicity and refinement. T 00 often a house on which an architect has expended his utmost skill is ruined interiorly by ignorance in selecting the furnishings and deco rations. The single choice of a wall paper may mean a disastrous introduction of glaring colours and distracting patterns. Often the mere ar rangement of the furniture becomes as impor tant in obtaining a pleasing interior as the design and finish of the different pieces.
