Book Reviews of Interiors: An Introduction

Book Review: Updated Fourth Edition of a Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

Now updated to it's fourth edition, Interiors has been brought up to date to keep up with the continually changing contemporary trends in design. These trends include the new trend in sustainable design. This includes discussion on things like bamboo flooring, which is completely sustainable, and fibers such as polylactic acid, also completely sustainable. And it covers energy efficiency in the new appliances and lighting. The third major point in the new edition is considerable discussion on the Americans with Disabilities Act getting access to facilities that they need. The book is suitable for use in a college level design course, or would be extremely helpful for anyone decorating a new home. It would of course be extremely helpful for anyone.

The book is supurbly illustrated with hundreds of color photographs. Indeed how else could you show the elements of design.

Most of the book is on residential buildings, as there are far more of them than there are commercial. The commercial comments are usually included at the end of a section and clearly labeled Nonresidential Considerations.
