About this book
Colour, light and the setting of a house guide Candace Wheeler's approach to furnishing it. This handbook treats decoration as an art with principles that can be studied and applied, connecting choices of ornament and materials to the architecture of the home. Its chapters cover kitchens, walls, ceilings, floors, draperies and furniture, with attention to the purpose of each room and the tastes of its occupants.
Wheeler makes those principles concrete through examples such as softening a busy wallpaper with a chalk wash and choosing seaside colours that echo sand, sky and water. A library or family gathering room calls for a different atmosphere from a drawing room, while a country house takes cues from its landscape.
