Synopsis
Step into the timeless elegance of interior design with The Decoration of Houses, a groundbreaking classic co-authored by Edith Wharton—Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist—and Ogden Codman Jr., a noted architect of the Gilded Age.
Originally published in 1897, this influential work challenged the overly ornate Victorian style of the era and championed principles of harmony, proportion, simplicity, and classical balance. Drawing on historical examples from Greek, Roman, and Renaissance interiors, Wharton and Codman advocate for refined aesthetics rooted in tradition and good taste.
Whether you’re a student of design, a lover of beautiful interiors, or a fan of Edith Wharton’s literary legacy, this book offers a thoughtful, practical, and still-relevant approach to decorating with intention and elegance.
