Ultimate Home Style Guide

by Katherine Sorrell, Katherine Sorre

Create a home that expresses your sense of comfort rather than pre-existing rules about how to decorate. This lushly illustrated guide to interior design defines the essential characteristics of each style, from medieval to modern, and how to achieve it. Choose from gilded baroque; the simple interiors favored by American settlers; superbly over-the-top Victorian; a bright, joyful 1950s design; and more. Follow the practical guidance on lighting, color, soft furnish and furniture. Mix old and new freely for an attractively eclectic approach, or put together a room that's carefully coordinated from floor to ceiling. Look no further to plan your dream home! A Selection of BOMC's Country Book Club.
