Book Reviews of At Home with Pattern
Book Review: A Great Idea Book
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
