Through evocative pictures and text, this book conveys the charm of the distinctive decorative style inspired over many centuries by the French countryside, and shows how to translate its elements into your own home setting, whether rustic or urban.
The first section, The Elements, looks at the subtle French palette of soft warm greys, cloudy pinks and misty greens; traditional materials; and furniture, textiles and accessories (from ceramics to silver to pictures). Next, The Spaces takes a broader view, looking at overall styles, room by room: kitchens and eating areas that combine wood, stone and tiles, living rooms, halls and corridors, bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as that country essential, the outdoor room. An invaluable list of suppliers concludes the book.
