About the Author

Kelly Hoppen is a British interior designer whose commissions have taken her from Manhattan and Long Island to London, and have included the homes of prestigious fashion designers and collectors. Her work has been featured in international magazines including Elle Decoration, and in 1996 she was awarded the first British Interior Designer of the Year award.

Bill Batten specializes in interior photography and is renowned for his sensitive lighting techniques. His photographs have appeared in The World of Interiors, House & Garden, and Elle Decoration.

Alexandra Campbell started her journalistic career on House & Garden magazine, and has subsequently worked for Harpers & Queen and Good Housekeeping. She currently writes for The Independent Magazine.

Reviews

These profusely illustrated books explore the design styles of two internationally renowned British interior designers. Hoppen shows her personal design style of taking North African and Asian designs and items and incorporating them into contemporary interiors. The layout of the photographs provides a nice juxtaposition of images, such as a green rice paddy or an Algerian wrought iron gate with an interpretation of how that color, shape, or texture is used in residential decor. Stefanidis allows us to visit his home, which he created from cow sheds in Dorset, England. The book proceeds room by room and through the gardens, with the chatty text explaining his approach to interior design and landscaping; it even includes recipes to make the reader feel a welcome guest. Both books are recommended for interior design collections.
