Copestick, authors of “New Dec­ orating,” say the time has come for walls and floors to go modem. “Contemporary decorating is

economical in everything but spirit,” says Elizabeth. “Focus­ ing attention on the basic ele­ ments of light, colour, space and texture achieves a new clarity and direction in home design. “I t is a paradox of our times


th a t innovation has been so warmly embraced in some spheres of life, but held at arm’s length in others.'Sweeping tech­ nological changes have trans­ formed our lives; yet all too often over the years these radical developments have simply not been expressed on home territo­ ry.” Joanna adds: “Contemporary


decorating opens up the home to new and exciting possibilities. Strong colour, characterful tex­ ture and clean lines give a clear sense of purpose for functional living - decorating for a new mil­ lennium.” The highly acclaimed interior


design duo go modern with materials not normally used in houses such as glass and plastic. Elizabeth explains: “Glass


bricks have long been appreciat­ ed as building blocks by archi­ tects - now they are finally being lauded by a wider audience. Inserted into walls or acting as room dividers in their own right, they screen light as well as deco­ rate a space.” Glass bricks look great as a


maintenance, why not opt for a semi-opaque plastic dividing screen? When it comes to floors, the


■ticeable aspect in the home. “It is a background you sim­


couple feel attention should be lavished on this seemingly unno-


ply cannot afford to ignore,” Elizabeth says. “Flooring pro­ vides the opportunity to. exploit the vital dimension of texture, to


, experiment with unusual materi-1 als and to enhance the sense pf spaciousness.” ■ Joanna explains further: “For generating a sense of expansive­ ness, the harder flooring materi­


als have the edge. From the chic brutality of polished concrete to the sophistication of a wood strip, a hard floor makes a clean sweep of the interior, creating a bold, uncluttered base that gives a fundamental strength to the rest of the decor.” Concrete, leather and rubber


are industrial fabrics which are not normally associated with home interiors, but Joanna believes this should change. “Brutal, raw and defiantly

undecorative, concrete seems to encapsulate everything we most love to hate about modem build­ ing.” I t may seem inconceivable


that this basic building material, more commonly associated with multi-storey car parks, should have a domestic application but while it looks hard and cold, it can be treated to alter its texture and colour. Create patterns by embedding


permanent room divider, as they combine the structural strength and properties of brick or block- work with the translucency of glass, and are useful in dividing space while maintaining spa­ ciousness. The bricks let in light, but obscure views at the same time so privacy can be main­ tained. ■ 1 They come in a variety of


sizes, colours and finishes, from clear to sandblasted and pat­ terned. They can be quite expen­ sive and should be professionally laid because of their weight and the binding agents used. If glass blocks are too high-


stones while it is still wet, add colour by painting with special floor paint or for a sophisticated look, cover it with acrylic or epoxy resin toppings to give it a glossy finish. Leather is the ultimate in bespoke flooring, and epitomises luxury and indulgence. Being more practical and durable than you might imagine, flooring leather comes in tiles made from tough steer hide, but is still not immune to scratches nor is it water-resistant. Therefore, it is unsuitable for kitchens and bath­ rooms. Rubber is tough, practical and


durable. I t comes in sheets or tiles, in various colours, and a number of surfaces such as stud­ ded, ribbed or treadplate to counteract its slipperiness - mak­ ing it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. • “New Decorating”, by Eliz­


abeth Wilhide and Joanna Cope- stick, is published by Conran Octopus, priced £16.99.
