WOW- wonderful book!,
This review is from: In Touch: Texture in Design (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed the harmony of Kelly Hoppen's book. I had never thought how the combination of different textures could make a room so interesting but it works! I found the pictures tranquil and inspiring, and would recommend the book to anyone who wants to take their design to a higher level (and definitely with minimal clutter!). The only strange aspect was her keen devotion to "wenge wood" - whatever that may be!

Edited design with style / a photo fest of design for today.,
By BRAD EPPERSON (ATLANTA, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Touch: Texture in Design (Hardcover)
This is a very beautifully edited book of design for today and a timeless look into the future of interior design. Although this book is primarilly focused on residential interiors, the simplicity of detail and design presents it also as being applicable to commercial design.

Interiors using everyday ingredients,
By R. Perry "baseball geek" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In Touch: Texture in Design (Hardcover)
For anyone undertaking home design or decoration , whatever the budget, this is a book for you. A wonderful discussion about the touch and feel of combining fabric and stuff you enjoy. She emphasizes that sensational ( and cost effective) interiors can be produced with the ingredients of everyday life. Why collect stuff that you can't use or look at, right. She also helped me understand fung shui in practical terms and recognize how the senses incorporate water, earth, metal, fire and wood. Stunning photography of simple yet dramatic combinations.
