How to create your own contemporary interior: the ultimate\
resource for design-conscious living, from architecture to\
materials to furniture and decorative objects. This ambitious book\
is all about clean lines, elegant color combinations, maximizing\
indoor–outdoor relationships, artfully collecting and displaying\
objects, and utilizing open areas for lounging, cooking, and\
dining. Whether the living space is large or small, anyone can\
create a modern interior.\
Hundreds of photographs reveal stylish residences around the\
world, in particular from places where modern living has achieved\
its best expression, such as California, Brazil, Scandinavia, and\
Australia, but also from places where modern forms have been fused\
with vernacular styles or set against exotic vegetation.
