Product Description
Book Description
Turn of the Century Style is a fascinating and colourful guide to all aspects of decoration and design in the late-Victorian and early-Edwardian home. Packed with full colour illustrations and photographs, the book shows the choices available to consumers during this period. Katie Arber has drawn on MoDA's extensive collection of retail and trade catalogues, domestic magazines and household manuals to produce a vibrant and beautifully illustrated guide to the turn-of-the-century interior.
No other guide is as comprehensive in its coverage of the features of a home. Detailed sections include bathrooms and kitchens; fixtures and fittings; furniture; wallpapers and paints; carpets, cushions and upholstery; lighting; fireplaces and heating; and finishing touches. Each area is covered in comprehensive detail in a way that is highly informative while at the same time hugely enjoyable to read.

This book was a lot slimer than anticipated, but its full of illustrations which makes it a useful book for those interested simply in interiors of the era, rather than lengthy historical explanations. I've managed to pull quite a few ideas from it - choosing modern products with authentic Edwardian design using this book as my guide.
