The title might be somewhat misleading. It is indeed art deco interiors, but it contains only illustrations, so don't await to see real homes or interiors. The illustrations of Ruhlmann, Mallet-Stevens, Chareau and others are very nicely executed though, and it is interesting to see how they imagined rooms to be arranged. There is a small introduction and biographical notes only. It would have been nice to see the illustrations together with photographs of authentic art deco furniture and furnishing.

This book is nice to have for the low price however, it was not what I had expected. The book contained only the illustrations of the designers' concepts for the rooms. It would have been better if it had included photographs of the rooms or any information about the designs or designers.

Expected real photos of art deco interior design and the book contains only cartoons.....and cartoons of very poor designs.
