Riassunto:

In this compact & useful guide, author Trevor Yorke takes you on a journey through history, charting the evolution of the interior of British homes.

By using over 200 individual colour drawings and black and white sketches, the book illustrates the changing face of domestic interiors and introduces the key styles of fixtures and fittings over the past 500 years.

It brings to life the changing uses of space, showing developments in fashion, decoration, and furniture within different rooms, and how these have steadily evolved with the passage of time.

Each chapter covers a consecutive period and works from examples of complete rooms down to details like furniture and lighting, with the accompanying captions highlighting the details and giving additional clues to look out for.

Whether you would just like to know the background to the period houses you visit, want to know more about an old house you own or are trying to recreate or restore an historic interior, this book will provide an easy-to-follow introduction to the subject.
