patricia guild has turned out yet another great compilation based on one aspect of design, this time pattern. one is immediately drawn in by the clever use of deep black flocking set against shocking pink on the cover. you just have to touch it over and over again. and once again, guild uses printed vellum over full color photography throughout, to punctuate her design ideas. this book is as rich in color as it is in pattern and texture and is truly a feast for the eyes from cover to cover.
great book!

The Impact of Patters in Interior Design
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Tricia Guild is a world recognized expert on color and patterns. In this book she discusses the use of patterns used in interior decoration. These could be patterns printed on wallpaper, woven into fabrics, or embroidered onto fabrics. And the patterns selected have the power to change the look and mood of a room. Many of the patterns she discusses are patterns that she has developed herself from the geometry of a brick wall, fish scales, the opulent riot of a floral bouquet, or the starry night sky. Her patterns vary from subtle to bold, from plain to complex. The illustrations in the book show the basic patterns themselves, and furniture or rooms where the patterns are used in upholstery or wall coverings. This is Tricia Guild's eleventh book. Most of the others have concentrated on color or the overall design of interiors.
