Beautiful, generous and inspiring. A real treat and a fantastic price.
Absolutely beautiful coffee table book on British interiors. I love that it contains photos, history on the house and an interview with the decorator. Theyโve got all the big names in interior decorating and design and the houses are ravishing. If you like โbankers beigeโ boring prosaic interiors maybe not for you but if you love the history of houses and eclectic old-school English interiors this is for you. A real treat read it in bed on a Sunday morning. Inspiring.

Glorious book
This book is fabulous. Itโs big, heavy, and full of pictures of different designersโ own homes, ones we can even aspire to. Lovely interviews with the designers and a photo of each one outside their front door. Their homes are beautiful but homely, and full of inspirational ideas. Itโs going to take me some time to read it and study all the photos, each of which has a detailed description. This book is a real find, beautifully produced and absolutely riveting to look through!

The very essence of English style
What a gorgeous book! I have always loved books on interior design, in particular the English style of decorating, books on or by John Fowler, David Hicks, William Yeoward, Ben Pentreath, and so many more, and this one has immediately captured my imagination, grabbed my design heart-strings. It has the most wonderful photographs accompanied by short essays by the various designers, from Alidad to Robert Kime, Rita Konig to Jane Churchill. There are small vignettes - tablescapes, corners of rooms, staircases - as well as double-page spreads, and photos of gardens as well as interiors. If you are as interested in English interiors as much as I am, this book is for you.

Perfect for dipping into a box of chocolates of British designers. delicious.
I adore this book. Nothing generic about the designs from these individual and unique designers. all the photos deserve close scrutiny & all are filled with joy. no design for design sake. impactful but gently evolved, it seems, as if over time. just the cover itself brings great joy as I come upon it carelessly tossed on a sofa or chair. one of the best interior books I have read.
