Product Description
Product Description
Transform your home with pattern, with great ideas for every space. Pattern is back in fashion in interior design, and there is no doubt that using it well can add character, richness and vitality to a home. From the subtlety of one-colour or textural patterns to the drama of overscaled, vivid patterns, the sheer variety available is breathtaking. "At Home with Pattern" divides contemporary pattern into six major themes: Modern Classics, Opulent Glamour, New Naturalism, Bold and Brave, Nostalgia Reinvented, and Eclectic Inspiration - and offers something for all tastes, whether feminine florals, sophisticated stripes or colourful 1960s abstracts.

A Great Idea Book, 6 Dec 2006
By John Matlock "Gunny" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: At Home with Pattern (Hardcover)
The trend in interior design in recent years has been to have uniform color on walls, bland floor coverings, and even smooth covered furniture. In this new book from Sally Conran and Katherine Sorrell present a refreshing and entertaining look at how patterns can be used to dramatically alter the appearance of a room or a house.
Patterns have also changed in this more recent cycle. Here are patterns that a lot more delicate, a lot more in tune with todays time of environmental concern, a lot more muted, a lot more earth tones, a lot less aggressive. At the same time, you can still get bold and bright colors if you wish (The book has a section called 'bold and brave.'). This is often shown in this book as pillows on a couch, or wall paper on a rather small area. That is, enough to become a focal point for your eyes, but not so strong as to be demanding.
This is a great idea book showing some interesting new concepts in interior design.

I am a student at an Interior Design school and this book is very useful to me. Not only it has great pictures, it also gives practical advice on how to combine patterns in the best possible way. I love this book!

So so, 24 Jan 2010
By shop girl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: At Home with Pattern (Hardcover)
I bought this book based on the cover. I love interior design and decorating books, and this one looked like a good one. Then I opened it up. Hmmm...there's a weird disconnect between the cover and inside of the book. The interiors look quite dated, unlike the modern, more contemporary look of the cover shot. As I looked through the book, the word "grandma" decor came to mind. It's not a terrible book, but if you're buying it based on the cover, move on.
Listmania!
