	The Concept Of Decoration in Islamic architecture
		There is never one type of decoration for one type of building or object; on the contrary, there are decorative principles that are pan-Islamic and applicable to all types of buildings and objects at all times (whence comes the intimate relationship in Islam between all the applied arts and architecture).
		Writes Jones, "The layers of surface decoration are increased and the complexity of visual effects enriched by the use of carpets and cushions, which often reflect the same decorative schemes as those found on walls and ceilings.
		Floors and ceilings contribute to the fluidity of space by the nature of their decoration, since they are often patterned in the same manner as the walls; sometimes, in the case of floors, the decoration actually reproduces carpets.

	Poynter Online - In Defense of Decoration
		Good decoration is that which enhances or frames a product or message." "The facade of a building or the cover of a brochure sparks a responsive chord even when type is absent.
		But Heller also cautions that decoration can be "the ignorant application of dysfunctional doodads that are total anachronisms." We've all seen a lot of bad decorative "design" and what it all has in common is that it gets in the way of the information instead of enhancing it.
		Mood, color, decorative elements, photography, and illustration are all born out of information, yet many times we downplay the importance of visual appeal and the power it has to attract the reader to the information.

	DECORATION
		The introduction of new decorative modes or techniques often followed such major historical shifts as the Islamic conquest in the mid-7th century, the Mongol invasion in the first half of the 13th century, and the establishment of European trading companies in the 17th century.
		A systematic investigation of the history and use of decoration in Persia should thus provide insight into a variety of economic and social factors for which written documentation is often scanty, including the training, organization, and migration of craftsmen and the relative economic importance or social status of various crafts.
		Similarly, an enthusiasm for "bird and flower" decoration is often associated with the court painter ˆaf^¿ ¿Abba@s^, who was active during the middle decades of the 17th century and who designed both textiles and album paintings.

		Those decorated with pairs of horns probably date to the twelfth or eleventh century B.C., and, incidentally, seem to be the only Scandinavian helmets to be adorned with horns (there is little evidence to suggest that Vikings ever used horns as crests).
		Perhaps the most lavishly decorated example is the magnificent early seventh-century helmet from Sutton Hoo, which consisted of an iron bowl decorated with applied figural ornaments with silver inlay, and with applied sheets of tinned copper embossed with animals and scenes from Germanic mythology.
		During the second half of the fifteenth century, it became fashionable, especially in the German-speaking territories, to decorate the surface of armor with raised ridges and grooves, sometimes corresponding to elaborately cut decoration to the plates' edges, reminiscent of Gothic tracery.

		After studying at the Vienna School of Decorative Arts, Klimt in 1883 opened an independent studio specializing in the execution of mural paintings.
		Soon thereafter he painted three allegorical murals for the ceiling of the University of Vienna auditorium that were violently criticized; the erotic symbolism and pessimism of these works created such a scandal that the murals were rejected.
		His later murals, the "Beethoven Frieze" (1902; Osterreichische Gallery, Vienna) and the murals (1909-11) in the dining room of the Stoclet House, Brussels, are characterized by precisely linear drawing and the bold and arbitrary use of flat, decorative patterns of colour and gold leaf.
