Contemporary Decorating: New Looks for Modern Living

This useful book, which features 200 color photographs, explains how to combine simple materials with light and space to make a refreshing alternative to outdated period styles and countrified nostalgia. Much more than stark white walls and minimalist decoration, it is about interiors rich with color, texture, and smooth, clean lines. Focusing on the principal elements comprising a home--walls, floors, windows and doors, furniture, storage, and display--"Contemporary Decorating offers 14 projects that sample such possibilities as glass brick walls, concrete floors, and metal doors.
