Interior Details is an authoritative visual sourcebook of materials and ideas. It provides an extensive vocabulary of interior design options for all the architectural features of a home -- walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, stairs, storage, lighting, and fittings. Covering visual styles from airy minimal to hard-edged industrial and grainy organic to bright contemporary, this is an exhaustive professional overview of the elements that combine to inspire a new living space.

Photograph after photograph introduces a comprehensive range of modern materials, products, and treatments on the market. Ideas from simple to elaborate are included -- from metal walls to gold mosaic floors and recessed lighting to curved plywood ceilings. Every structural or built-in element of the home is covered -- from aluminium stairs to circular window frames and cork tiles to storage options -- enabling the creation of a contemporary look tailored to an individual space. Recent architectural and design developments suggesting ways of creating the most distinctive, modern interiors are also explored.

Accompanied by a detailed directory of suppliers, Interior Details provides an invaluable reference for homeowners and professional designers. Whether laying a kitchen floor, installing new windows, replanning the layout of a bathroom, or gutting and redesigning a complete living space, here is an inspirational overview and the practical advice to support the planning and realization of any interior project.
