Product Description

Glamour. Itís hard to define yet most know it when they see it. Today, glamour may still invoke the sophistication and refinement of the golden years of Hollywood art deco, but country, industrial and even nature glamour have joined the more traditional modes.

The 21st century has brought glamouróand her sisters, decoration and ornamentationóback into home design news. Todayís most cutting-edge homes embrace design of every kind from every corner of the globe. Itís a marriage of disparate styles that finds no contradiction. Glamour is in vogue in homes that are castles (literally) and in one-bedroom rentals at the fringes of downtowns.

Looking at homes recently featured in Metropolitan Home, Glamour, Making It Modern reconsiders them through the following sections:

ï concepts: looks at the defining general notions of Modern Glamour, such as sheen and scale,
ï objects: examines elements of home decoration which are inherently glamorous,
ï rooms: tours homes where everything comes glamorously together.

With a directory of the designers, some of the best in the business, and a list of resources for available products, Glamour, Making It Modern is purely inspirational and absolutely accessible.

Customer Reviews

Want a little glamour in your home?
If you like sophisticated, fresh, glamorous design, which is very popular now, you'll enjoy the pictures and quotes from designers in this book. It's a great collection of the most up-to-date, livable contemporary design in one book, that has a sophisticated, glamorous edge. Elements of glamorous decor, whether they be chandeliers or daybeds, are combined in successful rooms utilizing the design so you see how rooms can be put together in an original way. This book should be in style for some time as it integrates classic elements of glamour with the more contemporary enactments of it.

The book definitely has a modern edge as the cover picture demonstrates, although I liked some rooms inside better than the cover picture. There's an eclectic mix inside to inspire you.

Glamour indeed!
