Atmosphere: The Seven Elements of Great Design

This new book is well worth the cost, as it is of top-rate quality and reflects the new trends in interior design, so not the old heavy traditional rooms, but bright, light, and stunning new designs and spaces. Highly recommend. Holds place of honor on my coffee table for friends and family to enjoy, too ! Thank you.

James Howard is so talented! This book captures his brilliant work! It is beautiful and a good read. I highly recommend and put it in all my clients bookcases or on their coffee tables.

An inspiring book for the discerning homeowner. A great resource for designers. The neutral palettes are beautiful and richly executed without being pretentious.

I have been a fan of talented Mr. Howard's work for some time on Instagram and now he has added this beautiful book for us to enjoy. As expected, it's filled with one gorgeous interior image after another, but it is also thoughtfully written. In addition I appreciate the high-quality of the book itself - nice, heavy pages, not flimsy like a magazine. I believe this adds to the pleasure of a great book.

Would appeal to those who gravitate to homes with beautiful architecture and comfortable spaces . the color schemes he uses are soft and quite lovely. I also bought in hardcopy to have as a reference.

The homes featured in this book are lovely and elegant and tasteful. However, so much of the upholstery is white or cream. For the majority of us, this is highly impractical.

Such an inspiring book! Mr. Howard did an amazing job at encompassing his creative architectural and decorating skills in this sophisticated publish. His design style is so well illustrated! Can’t wait for the next book!!

Beautiful book

Très beau livre. Les explications sont très claires, les photos superbes Le texte est concis et pertinent. Les 270 pages montrent plein d'exemples de décorations autour des 7 élements qui composent l'atmosphère d'une maison : style, proportions, rythme, lumière, couleur, texture et son

Great book and photos! Happy to have it as part of my collection!

Schönes Einrichtungsbuch! Schneller Versand!

I have many interior design books. Somehow they seem to roughly fall into two camps. Some are full of beautiful pictures of extraordinary homes but not much in-depth explanation that can have wide application. I guess the designers either can’t be bothered to or are not able to explain the thinking behind their design. Some are like manuals, practical and down to earth, but results achieved can sometimes feel a bit predictable. I was initially reluctant to buy this book, thinking it’s going to be just another one in the former camp. However the book has impressed me. It is indeed filled with inspirational pictures, some are perhaps not the most cutting edge fashionable which in fact make them rather reassuring in a wasteful trend-led world, but it is packed with detailed explanations aimed at drawing out timeless principles. Every picture is accompanied with a detailed “why”. I attach a random page here as an example. The author has talent, professional training and decades of real life experience, and he is ABLE to share his insights. I highly recommend this book. It deserves far more attention.
