Description: Eight years have passed since the first edition of this book. It's wonderful to see it being reprinted again not least I think because it proves the adage that while nothing dates as quickly as fashion nothing stays in fashion longer than timeless design which is really at the core of what I try to do. In this timeless and beautiful book now reissued complete with a brand - new introduction renowned architectural and interior designer Ben Pentreath presents an insightful overview of the classic English style. The classic English interior is a timeless one characterized by richness of color and texture a mixture of old and new pieces and a generous layering of books paintings cushions and flowers. In English Houses Ben visits 12 classically English homes divided into three sections: London Country and Country House. The interiors featured range from a 1930s pied - a - terre in London's historic St James district to a townhouse in North London to designer Veere Grenney's tiny Palladian folly in Suffolk to Wardington a 16th - century manor house in Oxfordshire. Ben's own homes an apartment in London and a farmhouse in West Dorset are also included. These homes vary greatly in architecture size shape and age but they all have in common the English style richly - layered rooms that deftly intertwine color and pattern and a mix of old and new furniture to create timeless and comfortable places to live.
