Synopsis

First published in 1897, this influential guide brings together Wharton’s clarity of expression and Codman’s architectural expertise to argue against the Victorian taste for clutter. Instead, it champions interiors shaped by simplicity, balance, and practical judgement.

Its approach is grounded in common sense, presenting ideas that have remained relevant across changing fashions. A considered choice for readers interested in interior design and architectural history.
