  This book explores the warmth and vibrancy of ethnic patterning and colour from cultures around the world that can be adapted for any home today - whether large or small. Each chapter exmaines individual styles from areas that have had a strong influence on design worldwide. The African Section , for example, includes special features on Moroccan and tribal looks, while The Americas includes North American Indian and cowboy themes. Within each theme, folk traditions are explored, examples given of contemporary European and American interpretation of the designs, and a rich collection of internationally available artefacts are assembled with suggestions and illustrations of ways that they can be used and displayed in homes today.
