Interior Design: Theory and Process

0.0

Successful interior design requires resolving a multitude of logistical and creative problems to produce a coherent, functional and aesthetically pleasing environment. This book, the first of its kind, tackles the problem from a theoretical approach and not in the conventional how-to or inspiring ideas fashion. Categorizing design into nine key elements, such as space, light, display, storage— and offering new terminology to describe each area, the author breaks new ground in the field of interior design in an approach that brings new vitality and clearer communication to a misunderstood and often free-wheeling design discipline. Drawing on more than 45 years of experience as an interior designer, Anthony Sully provides the ultimate resource in insight and also explains many "best practices" from interpreting a client’s brief, to analyzing the building, to setting up a design team and work schedule and a host of other practical aspects. Peppered through this toolkit are illustrations and explanations of good design and tips on often-overlooked questions designers must consider, such as whether sunlight will reflect off computer screens.Written by a respected industry professional but in an easy-to-understand format, this book is perfect for a wide range of people interested in interior design from students to DIYers to experienced practitioners.
