In this timeless and beautiful book,renowned architectural and interior designer,writer,shop-keeper and blogger Ben Pentreath presents a fresh and insightful overview of the classic English style.
Visiting 12 very different homes,Ben explores and appraises the unique spirit of the English House - at once restrained and simple yet overflowing with a generosity of touch and a richness of colour and texture.
The book is divided into three sections: London,Country,and Country House,and the interiors featured range from a 1930s pied-a-terre in London's historic St James to designer Veere Grenney's pocket-sized Palladian Temple folly in Suffolk and Wardington,a 16th-century stone manor house in North Oxfordshire. Ben's own homes,in central London and West Dorset,are also included.
These homes vary greatly in architecture,size,shape and age,but they all have in common a peculiarly English style - richly-layered rooms that deftly intertwine colour and pattern and a mix of old and new furniture to create timeless and comfortable places to live.
