Summary:

"The illustrations show the innovative and often cutting- edge designs produced by some of the leading designers of the day. Four key sections - Living Rooms, Kitchens and Dining Rooms, Bathrooms and Bedrooms - demonstrate a range of ideas for furnishing and decorating the domestic interior, and highlight some of the huge lifestyle changes that occurred in the home across Europe and America during the 20th century. Looking at the tension, evident throughout the century, between 'traditional' and 'new' looks, the book also examines the importance of image to 20th-century consumers of designed products." "This survey of the styles used to decorate domestic spaces of the 20th century is essential reading for anyone with an interest in interior design."--Jacket.
