Inspired Design by Jennifer Boles and Stephen Drucker

Most decorating books focus on one designer, the rest focus on one period, one trend, one room. This book, for the first time, has the big picture, ALL the names everybody must know from the entire 100-year history of interior design. Each designer is profiled and illustrated with three to four photographs of their best work, what we can learn from them - and how they changed decorating forever - is clearly highlighted to catch the eye. And to put it all together, a final chapter presents the 10 most important rooms of the past 100 years.
