This is a beautiful, beautiful book......., 8 Mar 2006
This review is from: Naturally Modern: Creating Interiors with Wood, Leather, Stone and Natural Fabrics (Hardcover)
I have only recently bought this book and can't believe I didn't buy it earlier. If you are into interiors that are warm, comfortable, inviting, stylish and intimate, then this is a book for you. The book concentrates on natural materials such as wood, stone, leather and textiles like cotton, linen and wool. The author explains in detail the history behind theses materials, their use in todays interiors and shows how to pull these together to create gorgeous, tactile and simple rooms. The photography is stunning and as a result I regularly refer to this book. It is by far, the most read and thumbed book I own. A must for anyone (even in the slightest bit) interested in relaxed, comfortable and stylish living! Highly recommended!

This review is from: Naturally Modern: Creating Interiors with Wood, Leather, Stone and Natural Fabrics (Hardcover)
This books explores ways in which we can substitute man-made materials for those that are found in nature, offering the reasons why nature is almost alwasy best. The book is aimed towards a contemporary design oriented audience, but the ideas can be adjusted to fit most decors. Beautifully photographed and well written, this book is a great addition to any design library.
