"On Decoration" is a collection of works by British interior designer David Nightingale Hicks (1929-1998). Hicks's work is characterized by elegant designs that incorporate a modern touch into traditional English style. After marrying his wife Pamela, a relative of the British royal family, he became a designer for the British royal family, and in Japan, he designed the guest rooms and suites of the Hotel Okura. He also designed the homes of many famous artists with whom he was close professionally, such as Vidal Sassoon and Hanae Mori, making him an indispensable figure when talking about British post-war interior design. This book is a collection of Hicks' early works, published in 1966, and is divided into chapters titled "Color," "Furniture," "Fabrics and Carpets," "Lighting," "Kitchens," "Bathrooms," "Halls, staircases and rumpus rooms," "Gardens," "Luxury," and "Other people's rooms." It contains images that capture the charm of Hicks's characteristic "bold use of color" and "lighting," sometimes with the addition of color.
