Rate this book
Addressing interior design and decoration from the ancients to the moderns, this text describes the dominant influences of fashion design and focuses on the close relationship between interior design and the architecture of our times. With the Sixth Edition of Interior Design and Decoration , Stanley Abercrombie continues the revival of this time-tested and well-respected text—first published in 1937—to make it meet the needs of today’s teachers and students. In his second revision of Sherrill Whiton’s classic text, Abercrombie presents the full history of interior design—during all periods and throughout all regions—in a manner that facilitates easy comparisons among different times, places, and styles.

A foundational book for my ID program. The challenge for texts in this vein is to balance architecture and design details, the exterior vs. the interior. The 20th century was a bit overboard on details, but good information to know nonetheless. Important trend-setters and innovators noted throughout.
