Book Description

October 1, 2007
A comprehensive handbook of all the crucial information interior designers need to know on a daily basis.

In the world of interior design, thousands of bits of crucial information are scattered across a wide array of sources. Color, Space, and Style collects the information essential to planning and executing interiors projects of all shapes and sizes, and distills it in a format that is as easy to use as it is to carry.

  • Section 1, ôFundamentals,ö provides a step-by-step overview of an interiors project, describing the scope of professional services, the project schedule, and the design and presentation tools used by designers.
  • Section 2, ôSpaceö examines ways of composing rooms as spatial environments while speaking to functional and life-safety concerns.
  • Section 3, ôSurfaceö, identifies options in color, material, texture, and pattern, while addressing maintenance and performance issues.
  • Section 4, ôEnvironments,ö looks at aspects of interior design that help create a specific mood or character, such as natural and artificial lighting, sound and smell.
  • Section 5, ôElements,ö describes the selection and specification of furniture and fixtures, as well as other components essential to an interior environment, such as artwork and accessories.
  • Lastly, section 6, ôResources,ö gathers a wealth of useful data, from sustainability guidelines to online sources for interiors-related research.
Throughout Color, Space, and Style appear interviews with top practitioners drawn from across the field of interior design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and a must have for anyone in a design career, January 25, 2008
This review is from: Color, Space, and Style: All the Details Interior Designers Need to Know but Can Never Find (Paperback)
Color, Space and Style is a plethora of useful information, tips of the trade, ideas, and resources at your fingertips.

The content is easy to read and understand with well thought out categories.

Full color pages outline the design process from start to finish.

It is obvious a great deal of energy, time and effort went into its creation. A must read for anyone interested in interior design and design related fields, in fact would be an excellent tool in a teaching environment.

Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars No secrets reveled. But an excellent reference, June 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Color, Space, and Style: All the Details Interior Designers Need to Know but Can Never Find (Paperback)
this book is kind of like a manual without the dogma of being one. This book doesn't tell you how to do anything. It just presents facts and the such.

It has a lot of things that you should have memorized or at least have a simple knowledge of. It is great for students of both architecture and interior design because it has information useful to both.


My girlfriend is a layperson in the construction/ architecture field and she asked to borrow it. It has useful things like the differences in types of paint and other materials. Things that aren't really thought about all that much but are useful and important non the less.


I would recommend this book to add to one's reference library.
