Summary

Addressing interior design and decoration from the ancients to the moderns, this text describes the dominant influences of fashion design and focuses on the close relationship between interior design and the architecture of our times. With the Sixth Edition of "Interior Design and Decoration," Stanley Abercrombie continues the revival of this time-tested and well-respected text first published in 1937 to make it meet the needs of today's teachers and students. In his second revision of Sherrill Whiton's classic text, Abercrombie presents the full history of interior design during all periods and throughout all regions in a manner that facilitates easy comparisons among different times, places, and styles.

Author Biography

Stanley Abercrombie has been editor in chief of the magazines Interiors and Interior Design. The author of 10 books, he has taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and has served as a director of the Society of Architectural Historians. Sherrill Whiton was the founder and first president of the New York School of Interior Design.
