Edition type: hardcoverAge: 6-10This beautifully illustrated book will take you on a journey – from Jordanian cities carved in rock to ancient Romans villa, through medieval homes of townspeople, Louis XIV’s Versailles, and the delicate constructions of Japanese houses, all way to contemporary interiors filled with designer household objects or Ikea furniture. “For many years I worked for interior design magazines, so I often had the chance to see flats whose interiors were inspired by ideas from many years ago. They were both lavish, luxurious interiors as well as contemporary houses built of concrete. There were flats filled with light, feminine furniture and flats with heavy cupboards placed underneath mirrors in gilded frames. Throughout the ages people had all sorts of ideas about what good taste meant. Sometimes interiors were more modest, sometimes more opulent, but people always cared about where they lived and what objects they surrounded themselves with. They even left their paintings on the walls of caves – an undeniable trace of the very first ornament. I will walk you through the ages to show you how people arranged their homes – these four walls have had many different facades."
