Synopsis

This book focuses on vertical and horizontal surfaces by examining not only windows, walls and floors but also celebrates the fifth wall -- ceilings! Readers will discover the clever possibilities for treating surfaces of all kinds with paint, wallpaper, tile, stone, fabric and more. A book unabashedly low on copy and high on brilliant four colour photography. Trend expert Kathleen Stoehr has developed a unique concept to attract thousands of buyers to this all-encompassing book. Thousands of photographs, consecutively numbered for convenient reference, allow users to easily note potential colours, designs and interiors that appeal. Beginning with a chapter on a personal favourite, window treatments, Stoehr covers all types of hard and soft window products, as well as how to approach the decoration of a large window wall. A chapter on wall coverings follows, including paint, paper, tile, stone, fabric and wood. In section three, the decorated ceiling pulls our eyes upward from the horizontal sweep we normally experience in a room, creating a sense of satisfied completion to any interior. Decorated ceilings, our interior sky is attention to detail at its best, creating drama in the dining room or a calm, restful environment in the bedroom. Finally, the books looks to the floor, an area frequently overlooked -- but the ultimate component for finishing any room with style.
