Ethnic by Design

Ethnic by Design shows readers how they can incorporate the decorative styles of cultures from around the world to create a uniquely personal, stylish interior.

It examines how the display of folk artefacts and designs can be adapted within any home, from large country houses to small urban apartments. It explores the decorative approaches of cultures that have had a strong influence on design worldwide — Cowboy, Native American, Mexican, Nordic, Celtic, Tyrolean, Mediterranean, Eastern European, North African, Tribal, Gold Coast, Japanese, Indian, and Asiatic. 300 full-colour photographs showcase examples of contemporary European and American interpretations, supplementing the text that traces the history and traditions of each culture.
