    Synopsis

    Glamour. It's hard to define yet most know it when they see it. Today, glamour may still invoke the sophistication and refinement of the golden years of Hollywood art deco, but country, industrial and even nature glamour have joined the more traditional modes.

    The 21st century has brought glamour-and her sisters, decoration and ornamentation-back into home design news. Today's most cutting-edge homes embrace design of every kind from every corner of the globe. It's a marriage of disparate styles that finds no contradiction. Glamour is in vogue in homes that are castles (literally) and in one-bedroom rentals at the fringes of downtowns.

    Looking at homes recently featured in Metropolitan Home, Glamour, Making It Modern reconsiders them through the following sections:

    • concepts: looks at the defining general notions of Modern Glamour, such as sheen and scale,
    • objects: examines elements of home decoration which are inherently glamorous,
    • rooms: tours homes where everything comes glamorously together.


    With a directory of the designers, some of the best in the business, and a list of resources for available products, Glamour, Making It Modern is purely inspirational and absolutely accessible.

    Met Home Fans Will Love 'Glamour'by Anonymous

    September 19, 2009: Metropolitan Home's Glamour/Making It Modern is indeed glamorous and modern. I am a big fan of MH and the book is a good compilation of interiors that have appeared in the magazine recently. True to MH's mission, the photos are all of contemporary settings but there is nonetheless quite a variety of looks. The photography is beautiful; the layout is well organized, although my personal preference is to view an entire house at one go, to see how the design is carried throughout, rather than to group by Concepts, Objects and Rooms, as this book does. It's not a "how to" book, so there's not much text, but that's fine by me as I prefer interior design books that are filled mostly with photographs. Although at 240 pages it's not small, I only wish it were a bigger book!
