The Interior Design Shelf
Nicknamed 'the Wall Design Diva', Suzanne Gallagher draws upon her many years of experience and expertise in "The Fine Art of Wall Design" to show how any room can be esthetically, even dramatically enhanced in its appearance through the deft use of wall décor. This is because the art selected sets the tone and mood of the room, reflects the personal of the owner, evokes emotions in the viewer, adds interest and surprise, adding colors and themes to all other aspects of a rooms' interior design.
Whether students of design intending a career in the field, or do-it-yourself amateur homeowners or apartment dwellers, "The Fine Art of Wall Design" is a practical and superbly organized instructional guide addressing the issues of walls, art, color, space, and proportions with respect to wall décor choices and selections. Enhanced with insider design tips, self quizzes, checklists, exercises, brain stretchers, and resource recommendations, "The Fine Art of Wall Design" is the perfect introduction to translating classic design principles into easy-to-follow and implement guidelines. Readers will discover how to make art the focal point of any room, find art that fits their budget, five common wall design mistakes and how to avoid them, tips on framing design, as well as placing art in terms of both hanging it and lighting it to best advantage.
Profusely illustrated throughout, "The Fine Art of Wall Design" is very strongly recommended for personal, professional, academic, and community library Interior Design reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
