Perfect English Townhouse, Hardback Book

Perfect English Townhouse Hardback

Hardback

Description

Continuing her exploration of English interiors, Ros Byam Shaw visits 14 distinctive townhouses full of charm, character and style. In Perfect English Townhouse, Ros Byam Shaw examines the timeless English style of decoration in a variety of Georgian, Victorian and contemporary townhouses.

Architecturally, these tall, narrow properties present challenges.

How do you make the best of a basement kitchen with a low ceiling and limited light? Or allocate space when you live across five floors? And how do you maximize any outdoor space? Perfect English Townhouse features case studies of such homes, not only in London but also in the provincial towns and cities of England.

Some feel like little pockets of countryside surrounded by pavements, others have a more sophisticated urban allure; some are endearingly quirky, others more classical.

All the interiors featured are interesting and inspiring and reflect the personalities of the people who inhabit them.

These are the kinds of space that most of us are familiar with, and that many of us occupy.

What is unusual is how cleverly and creatively these examples have been decorated and designed, in the Perfect English style.
