Interior Design Since 1900: New and expanded edition Paperback – Illustrated, 1 October 2008

4.5 out of 5 stars 38 ratings

From the nineteenth-century Arts and Crafts movement to the present day--from Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, the Modern Movement, and Art Deco to High-Tech and green design--every style of interior design since 1900 is charted in this wide-ranging survey. Design in the twentieth century saw many changes in direction, including the emergence of professional interior decoration and its evolution into interior design. Interiors, domestic and other, are explored and placed within their social, political, economic, and cultural context.

This revised and expanded edition is brought into the twenty-first century with a new chapter on sustainable design that focuses on public spaces such as hotels, offices, factories, and shops.

    If you're into that, this is a useful summary with some individualistic interpretations.

    The book delivered what you would expect for the price. It's more of a general overview of the history. It's a good reference for those who are just becoming interested in the subject matter

    Another great little Thames & Hudson book. They're excellent for history and overview but a little short on inspiration. Too many b& W photos for the visually based reader but gives the basic idea. After all, it's only a small book.

    Shipped on time and in good condition. Good book. Kinda boring but still interesting. Lots of pictures, which is crucial to remembering different styles. I would recommend outside research to get more of a look at the different styles. Google images perhaps.
