Description
Taste: A Cultural History of the Home Interior 1800 to the Present Day by Drew Plunkett offers a unique perspective on the evolution of home interiors. This book argues that the informal choices made by amateur householders have played a significant role in shaping architectural styles and design trends. By exploring the cultural drivers of aesthetic change, Plunkett reveals how 'taste' has influenced both professional and domestic spaces. The book is illustrated with contemporary drawings and cartoons, as well as photos, making it an engaging and attractive read. It delves into themes such as money, class, power, and influence, providing a fascinating insight into the world of home interiors. With its academic rigour and accessible approach, Taste is an absorbing and informative read for anyone interested in architecture and interior design.
