About this title

Synopsis

The Style Sourcebook is an encyclopedic catalog of 2,300 color swatches and other examples of the best in interior design products and materials. Included are styles and traditions from the medieval and pre-16th century periods right through to the early 21st century. This revision is updated to ensure that discontinued products have been removed, up-to-the-minute products have been added, and contact details for distributors are current.

The information is provided in six main sections, each wide-ranging and detailed, with helpful commentary:

Style Guide
Tiles
Paints and Finishes
Wallpapers
Fabrics
Flooring.

All the major design styles are included. Entries are organized chronologically according to material and design, and every entry includes company, pattern name and number, colors, measurements, material composition and suggested use. The full-color swatches are large enough for viewing the product clearly. The book includes a glossary of terms and a detailed directory of distributors.

Working designers, decorators, stylists and design students will find The Style Sourcebook an essential reference, and home decorators will be inspired by its wide-ranging practicality.

Store Description

We stock books about art, design, fashion, heritage/history and gender/sexuality, specialising in books about Australian, Asian & Pacific arts, crafts design and cultural history. Since we are committed to marginalised and innovative social and cultural practices, we are more likely to have books on women artists or dissident life than coffee-table books on iconic figures. This shop is in Sydney's legendary Kings Cross area, which has provided alternatives to this country's normalcy and suburbia for the last 80 years. Colloquially known as 'The Cross', this name signifies Antipodean bohemia, streetgangs and a world-famous red light district etc. THE CROSS Art + Books is a foundation member of The Bookdealers Guild (NSW).
