Review
The Ultimate Home Style Guide is the perfect book for those setting out to redecorate a room in a period house or for those facing the daunting task of decorating a room totally lacking in character. Katherine Sorrell, the features editor of Homes & Gardens magazine, has divided the book into historical and global styles. The historical styles include chapters on mediaeval, Tudor, Victorian, art nouveau, art deco, through to the sixties and contemporary. The global styles include English country, French chic, Scandinavian, Indian, and Shaker. Each chapter contains a brief history of how the style evolved as materials and fashion changed. The work of famous decorators in each period is described and examples of different rooms epitomising the style are photographed. Sorrell carefully explains how to go about creating the look, detailing the wall, floor, and lighting treatments. Accurate colour charts, pictures of fabric swatches, and descriptions of soft furnishing, furniture and accessories are included. Each chapter has a handy "summing up the style" page with a photograph of a typical room which shows how all the elements described are put together. If you long to saturate your flat with the colours and textures of a Moroccan bazaar, or dine under a glittering chandelier in a fantasy Baroque-style dining room, now is your chance, as never before has there been such breadth of choice or freedom from convention in house decoration.
