Residential Style is the new-format International Spaces title that explores the trends and talented designers shaping residential interiors around the world. The mere mention of the word 'home' evokes feelings of warmth and belonging, suggesting places of refuge, retreat and personal space that are as much a personal statement of the resident's enjoyment of life, as testament to the skill of the designer. Residential Style is a sourcebook of inspired kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, living areas, office and studio spaces, and even meditative areas, that can be adapted to suit the reader's own environment. The lavish array of fashionable interiors featured in this book, in styles that range from formal to casual, are accompanied by comprehensive captions that make this book useful to professional designers and the interested home designer. Interiors, from eclectic and eccentric to classic and elegant, are all included. Space planning, flooring features, lighting, furniture, window treatments and other areas of design, are vividly captured, making this an invaluable sourcebook on how to incorporate every element of décor to the best advantage. The new format includes a section dedicated to plans and drawings. Captions are purposeful and provide information on the materials selected by the material selected and individual features incorporated into each design.

The importance of exterior living spaces, such as courtyards and patios in our daily lives, is brought into focus within the pages of this attractive volume. Long associated with calm, stillness and tranquility, this area is where the outside meets the inside.

Today these exterior living spaces play both a decorative and functional role where water, walls, lighting, plants and sky all combine to convey security, calm and quiet. This beautiful volume presents residential exterior living spaces from the different corners of the world, from South America, Europe, Japan, the Middle East and the USA. Includes stunning photography and text descriptions.
