The English style in interior design is admired and imitated the world over. At its grandest it is a stately home furnished with antiques, but the houses featured in this book are country cottages, farmhouses, townhouses, and apartments. What links them is as much an attitude as a look. The English style of decoration is practical and informal, designed around the inhabitants of the rooms and their lifestyles rather than to awe or impress. These houses are lived in and loved, with interiors that are comfortable, relaxed and not afraid to be pretty. All are perfect in their own way, and all as endearingly English as saying sorry when someone treads on your foot. The book’s chapters―Plain English, English Eccentric, English Rose, English Country House and Classic English―reflect the many and varied facets of English style, and each section ends with pages devoted to suggestions and ideas for furnishing a house in all these versions of English style. At the back of the book, there is also a comprehensive listing of suppliers to help readers create their very own take on perfect English style.

Sensual Living

An interior-design book with an approach based on analyzing and making use of all the senses. The first five chapters look at the role our senses play in daily life. Images of interiors and of the world around us evoke special associations with particular senses. The final chapter, on the sixth sense, draws all the visual clues together and places them in context, showing room settings in their entirety.
