Decorating with Carpets: A Fine Foundation

So glad I was one of the lucky ones to get my copy before they sold out! This is an absolutely gorgeous book!I collect design books and some are good and others are great...this is one not to miss. The book features many of the best designers (and styles) today from Charlotte Moss to Thomas Pheasant to Darryl Carter.Beautiful photos all showing various rooms with Stark rugs/carpets. Some specialty custom and some familiar patterns too. I enjoyed the way the book was split chapters by room (Dining Rooms Etc) and ends with the White House and the specialty carpet that was woven for the Oval Office.It's been awhile since I was knocked out by a design book since so many design photos are published on the internet...I was pleasantly surprised that many of these photos were totally new to me. I hadn't seen them online or in the various design magazines that I subscribe to.If you are a design junkie and love beautiful rooms- this one is for you. What a book!!!

While I have yet to read the corresponding captions for many of the stunning photographs in this book, it's a beautifully inspiring book. I love how the author is able to share his point through the photographed rooms. The full and double-page illustrations are fresh and clean. The pages are thick and crisp to the touch --almost like the sound of flipping through silk dye swatches like those in carpet factories on Turkish estates.

I was not sure about a "carpet book", But this is so much more! Great interior inspiration including many styles. Love it!

seemed like an ad for very expensive carpets. Many of the decorating ideas were too far out for me.

For me, a "must-have" coffee table book - elegant and chic design presented in a room-by-room layout. Stark Carpet features some of the top interior designers across the country. Such a good purchase and an outstanding conversation piece.

Context can be critical. This books is so informative. Bespoke! Beautiful.
