Product Description
Book Description
Much more than plain white walls and minimalist decoration, contemporary decoration is about the strong use of colour, the exploitation of texture and smooth, clean lines. Focusing on the principal elements that make up the home - walls, floors, windows and doors, furniture and furnishings, storage and display - the authors introduce us to materials not usually considered for the home: glass bricks for the walls; concrete and rubber for floors; metal for doors; and encourage the reader to experiment with colours, fabrics and lighting. Practical projects in the book include chic folding window shutters made from perspex and inexpensive streamlined flooring created from squares of hardboard.

Part of my favorite collection,
By secrethalo (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Decorating: New Looks for Modern Living (Hardcover)
A book I turn to for ideas again and again, Contemporary Decorating is a gem. This is truly a classic in this genre. As for Elizabeth Wilhide, I own several of her books. You will not be dissapointed!

Simply one of the best authors on the subject.,
By Nurse in NY "nurse-ny" (NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Decorating: New Looks for Modern Living (Hardcover)
Ms. Wilhide has written yet another wonderful book on contemporary decor. Her style is eloquent, simple and beautifully stated. The photography is wonderful and the items pictured are not beyond the reach of the average person. I came away with a much broader knowledge on the topic, full of ideas, and very importantly-how to put it together. If you enjoyed this book, I would suggest Ms. Wilhide's "Lighting: A Design Sourcebook". My next purchase from Amazon will surely be a book by or co-authored by this author!
