What is it that makes some visual combinations more exciting and dynamic than others? Why is it that one arrangement of the same set of objects more pleasing than another? The answer is visual contrast — the stylist’s secret tool.

In this exciting new book, traveler, collector, and curator Tim Rundle reveals how to use visual trickery and effects to bring out the best in what you already own. Tim defines the four key aspects of visual contrast — shape, color, placement, and personality — and shows how these seemingly abstract concepts can be used to breathe new life into familiar spaces and objects. With the help of dozens of examples and plenty of practical advice, Tim analyses successful interiors, identifies a well-designed space, shows how to make the most of what you have, and discusses the elusive art of display. Visual Contrast offers a wealth of ingenious ideas, tips, and tricks to help you rediscover and rework your possessions and your home.

• Analyses and explains the elusive art of successful display.
• A fun and fresh approach to creating a beautiful and unique home by using the best of
what you already own.
• Glorious all-new photography by Polly Wreford.

A great introduction for retail students, this book offers a user-friendly reference guide to all aspects of visual merchandising and covers both window dressing and in-store areas. Using examples from a range of shops, from fashion emporia to small outlets, the book offers practical advice on the subject, supported by hints and tips from established visual merchandisers. It reveals the secrets of their toolkit and information on the use of mannequins, the latest technology and how to construct and source props, and explains the psychology behind shopping and buyer behaviour. Presented through colour photographs, diagrams of floor layouts and store case studies, and including invaluable information such as a glossary of terms used in the industry, Visual Merchandising is an essential handbook for anyone working in and learning about this exciting area.

A jargon-free introduction to the techniques of contemporary carpet design and creation

It is rare for a practitioner to present their thought processes, inspirations and techniques in a straightforward, no-nonsense, jargon-free way. Deirdre Dyson’s book is a welcome exception.

Dyson’s carpets are both works of art and works of design. They are also examples of superb craftsmanship. And, as this beautiful book reveals, they are also extremely pleasurable.

The book describes her journey from figurative painting into carpet design and carefully explains the thoughts, questions and challenges that occurred along the way, and the techniques required to support them.

The foreword by Professor Sir Christopher Frayling contextualizes Dyson’s award-winning work within discussions about art and design, and then Dyson herself reflects on her long experience of designing exquisite carpets.

The chapter ‘Techniques’ introduces the traditional methods she uses to create these carpets, and how these conventions can be manipulated to create stunning effects. ‘Process’ then explores the steps that lie behind any design. These chapters are followed by Dyson’s collections. Illustrated in full, they demonstrate her love of colour and her range of inspirations.

About the Authors

Lady Dyson met her husband James when both were students at the Byam Shaw School of Art. She has a store on the King’s Road in London, and in 2013 was the winner of ‘Best Studio Artist Design’ at the DOMOTEX Carpet Design Awards.

Professor Sir Christopher Frayling is Professor Emeritus of Cultural History at the Royal College of Art.

In this book new trends of wall design are presented by means of numerous projects. The use of new materials allows bright colours and extraordinary patterns, new forms and structures. The wall is not longer only an essential but also a creative element of interior design. As a vertical section of the building, a wall structures the interior, organizes it into private and public areas, forms lines of sight and points of reference. Walls change the impression of the room and its volume. The design with extravagant wallpaper can transform a home into a shimmering place with little effort and give your own four walls an individual character. With self-adhesive motifs like the wall stickers from" a better tomorrow", butterflies can settle in the big city and set temporary accents. An index with contact information of the designers and producers is enclosed.

"Wall Effects" is an inspiring and informative guide to the decorative techniques, offering ideas on how to revitalize your old walls, create an eye-catching or simple background, or merely add a touch of visual interest to your room. Walls define a room and mark out separate zones within a home. In addition, they are also blank canvases that can define or enhance room design, and we are now beginning to pay them due attention and consideration. Alongside, this is a revival of decorating techniques and styles that, until recently, were thought of as old-fashioned and fussy - paint techniques such as sponging, colour washing, textured cork tiles, and, at the forefront, wallpaper. "Wall Effects" will show you how to use these techniques with confidence and style and in a contemporary manner. Divided into the four main themes of decorating - pattern, texture, colour and style - this book explains techniques used to create these effects, as well as how to combine effects to create a more distinctive look. Katie Ebben describes how a bold single image can be treated almost as a piece of art, as well as how to use plaster, sand and crackle finishes to achieve a subtle, textural interest. The chapter on colour covers the resurgence of traditional colour schemes as well as the more modern bold and minimalist approaches. Styles such as new romanticism, modern rustic or retro are another popular approach to interior design, and Katie shows you how to extend them to your walls. Innovative, yet very simple projects illustrate the techniques in each chapter, while the Techniques section provides all the background information you will need to execute your own projects with confidence. From varnishes to pigments, flock wallpaper to colour washing, "Wall Effects" will give your walls the courage to stand out and be noticed.

This book is a fascinating insight into a subject rarely covered in books on interior design. The term 'wallpaper' encompasses everything from printed lining papers to computer-aided limited editions. It covers lavish flocks, exquisite Chinese hand-painted paper, the perennially popular designs of William Morris, the first washable machine-printed papers and embossed wall-coverings, from gilt leather to Anaglypta.

From modest beginnings, wallpaper developed to become a commonplace of the domestic interior from castle to cottage, a means of transcending or enhancing the immediate architectural environment. The book is lavishly illustrated with images of wallpapers, many from the V&A's collections, as well as artists' impressions of interiors, documentary photographs of rooms past and present, posters, trade cards and sample books. It is an invaluable source book for anyone interested in the role of wallpaper in decorative schemes, and gives a lively account of the social history of wallpaper and the part it has played in domestic lives.

Wallpaper has never been more desirable. Throughout their 300-year history, patterned paper wallcoverings have alternated wildly between being absolutely 'of the moment' or totally out of fashion. Recently, after more than a decade of blank white walls and minimalism, wallpaper has made a grand comeback - and its popularity shows no signs of abating. In this stunning book - the ultimate guide to wallpaper - Charlotte Abrahams gets to the heart of the exciting contemporary wallpaper scene. Dividing the book into the three main areas of design - pasted pictures, fabulous florals and architectural illusions - she starts each section with what is happening now, then traces the history back through the key moments, developments, designers and manufacturers to the origins of the style. New young designers and established manufacturers, funky new layered images and classic designs, the latest visual technology and hand-painted historical scenes - all are discussed and illustrated. Each section also explains how to use this type of wallpaper in a variety of ways and rooms to obtain different effects. Expert advice on working out colour schemes, mixing florals with geometrics, using large and small prints, zoning and other techniques is included. Each section ends with full-page photographs of the 48 best wallpapers in this area (a mix of contemporary and classic). Over 200 wallpapers are included and every one is itemised in an illustrated source list giving details of design and manufacturer, with contact details, websites and where to purchase. All the wallpapers featured are available worldwide. Illustrated throughout with stunning wallpaper designs and beautiful rooms, this book really will be the ultimate guide to wallpaper.

From acclaimed French interior designer and decorative arts historian, Florence de Dampierre comes an inspiring collection of the best decorative wall treatments.

Throughout history, there has been a desire to express the esprit of a period by decorating the walls of our homes. From Italianate murals in Renaissance villas and the whimsical painted panels of the Musée Carnavalet to English Arts and Crafts wallpaper and Frederic Church’s stencilled homestead Olana, noted connoisseur de Dampierre shows how decorating walls can transform an interior space to dramatic effect that harmoniously creates a rich, sophisticated look. Walls covers a sampling of premier decorative wall designs from around the world that have evolved over the centuries, including fresco, wood panelling, stencilling, and wallpaper.

De Dampierre has chosen the best examples that have proven to be the most inspirational and relevant for today’s home interior design. Sidebars will cover such topics as lacquering; chair mouldings, pediments, and cornices; borders and friezes; hand-painted linen and cotton hangings; tooled leather, and toile. Each chapter will end with such practical advice as mixing pigments, application tips, maintenance, and restoration. Beautifully photographed, the book offers innumerable wall treatment ideas that can be seamlessly integrated with furnishings of modern interiors to create an original ambience.
