Beautiful Necessity: Decorating with Arts & Crafts
The best-selling Beautiful Necessity: Decorating with Arts & Crafts details everything necessary for creating Arts & Crafts interiors, from wall coverings to furnishings, tiles, stenciling, accessories, moldings, and floor coverings. More than 140 stunning photographs showcase the Arts & Crafts movement from its humble beginnings to its recent and well-deserved surge in popularity. The furniture and architectural designs of the Arts & Crafts movement were created not to dominate nature, but to coexist with it. Earth-tone colors, natural motifs and building materials, and intricate and decorative fireplaces all hearkened back to simpler times. That same yearning for elegant simplicity continues to propel a modern revival of the Arts & Crafts movement, and appeals to modern needs for both quality and understated beauty. Beautiful Necessity: Decorating with Arts & Crafts will guide even an Arts & Crafts novice to a beautifully accented bungalow, cabin, or family home.
