Iconic brand Farrow &amp; Ball began in the 1940s as a small firm based in Dorset specializing in paints made in the traditional way from traditional ingredients. Despite its success, Farrow &amp; Ball has stayed true to its origins. It is the quality of the paint, with its exceptional depth and subtlety of color, that has made the company famous worldwide. Farrow &amp; Ball paints look as good on the walls of a slick apartment as they do in a period drawing room and are as perfect for a cottage as in a castle. Divided into chapters according to style, including Classical, City, Modern Country, Cottage and Country House, the first part of the book shows Farrow &amp; Ball paints and wallpapers in a variety of beautiful interiors. Part Two is devoted to color. From All White and In Neutral to Softly, Softly, and Bright and Beautiful, each chapter explores a particular palette and shows how color can be used to create atmosphere and character. Inspiring, instructive, and celebratory, this book brings out the painter and decorator in us all.

Perfect English Style: Creating rooms that are comfortable, pleasing and timeless

<div> In&nbsp;Perfect French Country&nbsp;Ros Byam Shaw celebrates relaxed rural France at its finest, visiting timeless and beautiful French country homes that feature&nbsp;ancient beams and stone fireplaces, panelled rooms and attics under steeply-pitched pantiles. In a busy modern world that seems increasingly fast-paced, overcrowded and monopolized by technology,&nbsp;the allure of the 'good life' is more potent than ever. As an antidote to texts and tweets, traffic jams and queues, additives and packaging, we seek out the simple and the wholesome, and long for the luxuries of space, a leisurely pace of life and fresh air. France can offer all these things, with its traditional farming methods, its authentic regional cuisine, and its low population density. Add to this the inimitable French sense of style and&nbsp;joie de vivre, and you have all the ingredients for an enviable way of life.&nbsp;Perfect French Country&nbsp;revels in the timeless and authentic beauty of the French country home. </div>

Perfect French Country: Inspirational interiors from rural France

Continuing her exploration of English interiors, Ros Byam Shaw visits 14 distinctive townhouses full of charm, character and style. In Perfect English Townhouse, Ros Byam Shaw examines the timeless English style of decoration in a variety of Georgian, Victorian, and contemporary townhouses. Architecturally, these tall, narrow properties present challenges. How do you make the best of a basement kitchen with a low ceiling and little light? Or allocate space effectively when you live across five floors? And how do you maximize any outdoor space? Perfect English Townhouse features case studies of such homes, not only in London but also in the provincial towns and cities of England. Some feel like little corners of countryside surrounded by sidewalks, others have a more sophisticated urban allure; some are endearingly quirky, others more classical. All the interiors featured are interesting, inspiring, and reflect the personalities of the people who live in them. These are the kinds of spaces that most of us are familiar with, and that many of us occupy. What is unusual is how cleverly and creatively these examples have been decorated and designed, in the Perfect English style.
