Description
Comfortable Country draws its inspiration from the country way of life. Colours are soft whites or muted brights, and fabrics are natural. Furnishings are a beguiling mix of the contemporary and junk-shop finds effortlessly blended together. Comfortable Country advocates the joy of keeping things simple and very, very comfortable. The first part of the book looks at the influences and elements of country life that contribute to the look. These include the Changing Seasons, the Peacefulness that manifests itself in beautifully simple interiors, Nostalgia, and Utility. Comfortable Country Rooms, the second part of the book, explores how the style works in each room of the home.
