In the book, the authors denounce Victorian-style interior decoration and interior design. Wharton and Codman, who met in Newport, advocated decoration and design with strong architectural wall and ceiling treatments, accentuated by well-suited furniture and rooms based on simple, classical design principles such as symmetry and proportion with a sense of architectural balance. The Decoration of Houses is a classic work by one of America's most famous writers and one of America's most famous architects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edith Wharton,Ogden Jr. Codman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Applewood Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.83w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781429093606","brand":"Applewood Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461332877449,"sku":"9781429093606","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_603d2766-f2b3-494c-a890-d1f07a0acb51.jpg?v=1784058313","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-decoration-of-houses-9781429093606","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
