7 Writing in The Art of Interior Design and Decoration (London, 1951 ), John H. Holmes
explained that he was conscious of the schism that was developing between these two
areas of activity. In his view decoration and design were interchangeable in what he called
‘great periods of design’, but there was, he believed, a danger, at times when their integra-
tion was not understood, that ‘the decorator may study expression... rather than the
purpose which is expressed’.
