The choice of materials is critical to the success of an
interior. This book examines every aspect of the the use of
materials in interior design, from initial concept and selection to
visual representation and practical application. Following a brief
introduction, the first five sections offer historical context and
detailed guidance on selection, application, representation,
communication, and sources, while the sixth and final section
features case studies by international interior designers. The book
includes useful step-by-step sequences, information on properties
and sustainability, and a list of resources, online archives and
sample libraries. It is an invaluable practical and inspirational
guide for interior design students.
