Book Description

November 1, 2007
In the rich and eclectic world of interiors, it is the designers who remind us that the spaces we inhabit can be timeless works of art. Colorful and lushly photographed, INSPIRED STYLES is an anthology of the ideas, creative palettes, and select works of fifteen exemplars of interior style, each of whom designs for the Kravet and Lee Jofa Fabrics and Furnishings Company.

Inviting readers to discover their creative processes, each designer describes what inspires and guides their unique and world-appreciated aesthetic. With vibrant photographs depicting their work, first-person texts by the designers themselves, and punctuated with a foreword by House and Garden s editor-in-chief, Dominique Browning, Inspired Styles is not only an object d art, it is an invaluable reference for both amateurs and professionals who aspire towards remarkable interiors and beautiful living spaces.

3.0 out of 5 stars pretty pictures April 19, 2008
By 327
Pretty pictures included for each designer. Book as a whole seems bland. Should have gotten more off-beat designer/decorators- too much beige and too many shells and buddahs! Not really "good" taste- just alot of the same. While you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, it seems lovely to think someone is inpired by spices and purses and flowers, etc.
But the inspirations on the inside were mostly one-word answers, almost completely devoid of descriptive language. Would have wanted more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring indeed September 28, 2008
By maktina
I find the book very well put together, and very informative.
It really introduces the idea of combining textures and colors in Interior Design, a concept that not everybody can understand when attempting to put a room together. It is fun to see the different designer's background, their taste and their creations!

A coffee table book showcasing top designers in the home furnishings industry. A compelling forward by Cary Kravet - of Kravet Inc - the leading supplier of fabrics and furnishings to the interior design trade starts the reader off on a journey into the inspirations which motivate each designer. The pictures are captivating and the Q&A is an enlightening way to find out more about the personalities behind the great design.
