For those of you enchanted with cozy cottages filled with joyous color, exuberant patterns and welcoming rooms, Elizabeth Metclafe’s book, New English Interiors- At Home with Today’s Creatives, is a must read! Have you seen it?
A visual treat and a massive dose of inspiration, New English Interiors illustrates English cottage core at its finest. If you are fond of cottages and the English style of decorating, this book is for you. Made up of a collection of richly colored interiors and joyously assembled homes that are comfortable to live in, and beautiful to look at, owned by artists, decorators and antiques dealers throughout the UK, this book will make you want to read it slowly, and savor each page, and every detail.
Every room featured brims with personality. No one interior copies another, but, rather, in a world where trends and decorating fads try to override personal tastes, this book is a refreshing reminder that homes should be measured by one thing and one thing only – that they please the senses of those who live in them.
New English Interiors – At Home with Today’s Creatives is one of the prettiest coffee tables I own, written well and photographed exquisitely, and a great gift for the cottage core gal or guy in your life. A book that reads like a life well lived.
If you’re not sure you (or a loved one) have the cottage core bug, symptoms include an irresistible attraction to cute little houses, a high tolerance to low ceilings and wonky floor plans, and a healthy dose of optimism. A good contractor on speed dial is a must. Call your real estate agent if symptoms persist 😉 Wishing you a great weekend!
This is the style I like best. My home is small, so I take the liberty of calling it a cottage. 😉
The few pages you were able to share inspired me to add this book to my wish list.
Your home is lovely.
