Creating the Essence of Country Style.
Peace, comfort, natural, relaxed, sensual - words inextricably associated with country style that perhaps explains why this style of decorating is still so popular. Intrinsic in country style is a certain nostalgia for a bygone age, but 'The Country Home' shows how we can reinterpret past styles for today's living.
There are classic country kitchens and family sitting rooms, bedrooms with quilted eiderdowns and chintz curtains, Victorian-styled bathrooms and flagstone halls, eccentric Irish cottages and cool New England clap board homes. "Get the look" sections show how to create the paint effects or curtain treatments required to achieve the look, plus practical tips on colour, fabrics, storage and lighting.
