WILLIAM MORRIS DECOR AND DESIGN by Elizabeth Wilhide
Perenially popular, William Morris's designs for fabric and wallpaper have represented the best of English taste and sensibility for over a hundred years. Today, there is a renewed appreciation for pattern and decoration and a revival of interest in the entire arts and crafts movement. Morris created the original `natural' look. His patterns, inspired by living forms, have great vitality and rhythm, qualities which ensure their lasting appeal. This is the first book on William Morris to demonstrate how his work can be applied and enjoyed in today's interiors, whether introduced as a special richness to the contemporary interior or as part of an authentic decorative scheme for period rooms. Beginning with a full description of the elements which comprised the arts and crafts interior, this work goes on to explore the apllication of Morris designs to contemporary interiors. With an emphasis on the practical, inspirational solutions for the treatment of windows, wall furnishings and finishes are treated in detail, providing the reader with a wealth of new ideas to transform the interior of any room. A comprehensive guide to Morris designs available today is the concluding feature of the book, with appendices outlets and suppliers. William Morris's approach to decorating, like his designs, has survived the vagaries of fashion. With the aid of this book, arts and crafts enthusiasts can turn their dreams into practical realities.| SKU | Unavailable |
