Description
In the world of interior design, thousands of bits of crucial information are scattered across a wide array of sources. Color, Space, Style collects the information and ideas essential to planning and executing interiors projects of every scale and distills them in a format that is easy to use. Topics encompass planning and project management, drawing and presentation techniques, the design and sequencing of space, the characteristics of colour, materials, texture and pattern, natural and artificial light, building systems, codes and accessibility, and sustainability. Interviews with interior designers demonstrate how these topics can be creatively interpreted in practice.

Review by Anya Pope, Editorial Assistant for Grand Designs Magazine
Overwhelmed by the myriad mountains of literature on interior design? Wish there was a definitive textbook encompassing both the practical information of manual guides as well as inspiring style ideas?
Color, Space and Style promises both in the form of a compact handbook hailed as an indispensable guide for interior designers, students and self-starters. A complete overview of the design process, the book is split into chunky but accessible sections that lay out the essential points of an interior design project, from working with colour, space and materials, to how to schedule, budget and establish a contract with a client.
Interspersed are interviews with interior designers such as Michael Gabellini and Annabelle Selldorf, offering expert advice and showing how theories and ideas can be put into practise. It also contains some true gems of essential designer information such as its list of iconic twentieth-century designer furniture, and handy measurement conversion charts.
A classic reference tool and a must-have for all would-be designers.
