RUSTIC INTERIORS

For Town & Country

Elisabeth Wetzlar

Rustic-style interior design has become immensely popular in this urban age.

Whether for city apartments, suburban homes, or country houses, designers have "rediscovered" farmhouse furniture and décor and put them to use in the most contemporary of settings. To achieve a feeling of security and warmth, they use such materials as wood, ce-ramics, and field stone, along with such elements as fireplaces, ceiling beams, panelled walls, and rush mats. Also, they have created many modern adaptations of country styles, utilizing the newest materials and construction techniques.

In this unique and magnificently illustrated volume, a leading decorator surveys these developments and provides an international sampling of imaginative and tasteful rustic décor today.

Topics include:

Old Farmhouse Rooms

Old Farmhouse Furniture

Old Furniture in Modern Rooms

Modern Farmhouse Rooms

Contemporary Rustic-style Rooms

Professional decorators and do-it-your-self buffs alike will find this a unique and valuable sourcebook of ideas for creating relaxing rural atmosphere in most any type of house, apartment, office, and institution.
