About the Book

This book offers a guide to the decorative styles that have made the greatest impact on British, Irish and American domestic architecture, from the Tudor times to the present day. The book offers comprehensive references for every part of a building, including doors, windows, walls, ceilings, floors, fireplaces, staircases, built-in-furniture and lighting. The main part of the book covers the most important architectural styles in chronological order from Tudor and Jacobean through to modern times. Each chapter investigates the origin of the style, key architects and examples of buildings which epitomise the style, followed by an inventory of details, major and minor.
