Sinopsis

Everyone has a dream of the perfect country house: beautiful, warm and welcoming with a sense of comfort and style that comes naturally. The word ?country? evokes a timeless simplicity, where classic form is married to a soft, decorative feel, where colour and pattern are used informally, and where light and space are at the heart of every room. The re-introduction of colour and pattern to interior design, and the perennial popularity of natural materials make a stylish, country look easy to attain. Chapters include specific country styles such as Shaker, New England and modern Ethnic, along with practical ways to really bring the outside in ? from using natural textiles and textures, to incorporating seaside checks and country-style florals. With more than two hundred stunning colour photographs, Country in the City is an inspiration to those wanting to make every day in the city a dream of country living.? Liz Bauwens creates an urban country look that will appeal to city dwellers looking for an easy and relaxed style of decoration.? Taps into the current trend that has moved away from minimalism towards a more comfortable and 'shabby chic? look.? Features beautiful locations, many of which have never been photographed before.
