Compendium of Interior Styles

by François Baudot

Aside from fashion, the most immediate extension of the human body is the décor with which we surround ourselves. This book explores the relationship between interior architecture and interior life, between the mental and the ornamental. Taking readers inside some of the most beautiful houses in the world, subjects range from the medieval era to the 20th century, covering design from the Belle époque era to contemporary aesthetics.
