  Country Style celebrates the simplicity, warmth and strength of the rural tradition in interior design and furnishing. In this superbly photographed sourcebook, Judith Miller explores the many strands that go to make up country style. The book covers styles ranging from the exhuberant Mediterranean mood of chunky furniture, tiles and pottery, to the more austere northerly tradition of bare, rubbed wood and warm patchworks. Judith Miller explains the origins of the different country looks and discusses how country style can be as relevant to a London townhouse as to a farmhouse in Provence, Tuscany or Rhode Island. All the elements that are essential to the style; fabrics, furniture, table and kitchenware, and floor and wall surfaces are explored in detail. Practical as well as inspirational, the book also offers advice on how to achieve a country style including the treatment of surfaces and choice of fabrics, furniture and pottery.- Re-issue of a classic title that has sold over 160,000 copies worldwide - The essence of European and American country style illustrated in over 400 stunning colour photographs - Practical advice and ideas for choosing wall treatments, fabrics, furniture and pottery - Comprehensive directory of suppliers and specialist services
