More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In the world of interior design, thousands of bits of crucial information are scattered across a wide array of sources. "Color, Space, and Style" collects the information essential to planning and executing interiors projects of all shapes and sizes, and distils it in a format that is as easy to use as it is to carry. Section 1, "Fundamentals", provides a step-by-step overview of an interiors project, describing the scope of professional services, the project schedule, and the design and presentation tools used by designers. Section 2, "Space" examines ways of composing rooms as spatial environments while speaking to functional and life-safety concerns. Section 3, "Surface", identifies options in color, material, texture, and pattern, while addressing maintenance and performance issues. Section 4, "Environments", looks at aspects of interior design that help create a specific mood or character, such as natural and artificial lighting, sound and smell. Section 5, "Elements", describes the selection and specification of furniture and fixtures, as well as other components essential to an interior environment, such as artwork and accessories. Lastly, section 6, "Resources", gathers a wealth of useful data, from sustainability guidelines to online sources for interiors-related research.

Brilliant and a must have for anyone in a design career
25 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback
Color, Space and Style is a plethora of useful information, tips of the trade, ideas, and resources at your fingertips.
The content is easy to read and understand with well thought out categories.
Full color pages outline the design process from start to finish.
It is obvious a great deal of energy, time and effort went into its creation. A must read for anyone interested in interior design and design related fields, in fact would be an excellent tool in a teaching environment.
Bravo!

No secrets reveled. But an excellent reference
18 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
this book is kind of like a manual without the dogma of being one. This book doesn't tell you how to do anything. It just presents facts and the such.
It has a lot of things that you should have memorized or at least have a simple knowledge of. It is great for students of both architecture and interior design because it has information useful to both.
My girlfriend is a layperson in the construction/ architecture field and she asked to borrow it. It has useful things like the differences in types of paint and other materials. Things that aren't really thought about all that much but are useful and important non the less.
I would recommend this book to add to one's reference library.

color,space and style
5 April 2012
Format:Paperback
Sort of like like the cover this book is practical and a bit plain but very useful for basic interior designers.While some concepts are intuitive the guide is helpful in spelling out detailed basics that any designer or decorator will profit from.
