Create a home that expresses your sense of comfort rather than pre-existing rules about how to decorate. This lushly illustrated guide to interior design defines the essential characteristics of each style, from medieval to modern, and how to achieve it. Choose from gilded baroque; the simple interiors favored by American settlers; superbly over-the-top Victorian; a bright, joyful 1950s design; and more. Follow the practical guidance on lighting, color, soft furnish and furniture. Mix old and new freely for an attractively eclectic approach, or put together a room that's carefully coordinated from floor to ceiling. Look no further to plan your dream home! A Selection of BOMC's Country Book Club.

Few books present as wide a variety of decorating styles as found here, although Lawrence Schwin's Decorating Old House Interiors (LJ 1/97) remains an excellent source for American interiors. Sorre gives information on historic styles from medieval to contemporary and ethnic styles from European country to Asian, Latin American, and African. Each style is described in terms of development and influences, typical furnishings, treatment of walls, floors, and lighting, and color and fabric; the style is finally summarized by having key elements pointed out in a room. Sorre's chatty tone and advice on what to make oneself and where to look for furnishings make this book extremely accessible to amateurs. Experienced designers will also benefit from the well-presented and thorough information. Highly recommended for all types of interior design collections.
