British Designers At Home

Absolutely beautiful coffee table book on British interiors. I love that it contains photos, history on the house and an interview with the decorator. They’ve got all the big names in interior decorating and design and the houses are ravishing. If you like “bankers beige” boring prosaic interiors maybe not for you but if you love the history of houses and eclectic old-school English interiors this is for you. A real treat read it in bed on a Sunday morning. Inspiring.

This book is fabulous. It’s big, heavy, and full of pictures of different designers’ own homes, ones we can even aspire to. Lovely interviews with the designers and a photo of each one outside their front door. Their homes are beautiful but homely, and full of inspirational ideas. It’s going to take me some time to read it and study all the photos, each of which has a detailed description. This book is a real find, beautifully produced and absolutely riveting to look through!

What a gorgeous book! I have always loved books on interior design, in particular the English style of decorating, books on or by John Fowler, David Hicks, William Yeoward, Ben Pentreath, and so many more, and this one has immediately captured my imagination, grabbed my design heart-strings. It has the most wonderful photographs accompanied by short essays by the various designers, from Alidad to Robert Kime, Rita Konig to Jane Churchill. There are small vignettes - tablescapes, corners of rooms, staircases - as well as double-page spreads, and photos of gardens as well as interiors. If you are as interested in English interiors as much as I am, this book is for you.

I adore this book. Nothing generic about the designs from these individual and unique designers. all the photos deserve close scrutiny & all are filled with joy. no design for design sake. impactful but gently evolved, it seems, as if over time. just the cover itself brings great joy as I come upon it carelessly tossed on a sofa or chair. one of the best interior books I have read.

Beautiful photographs and interesting text. Well worth the money. The type of book you take to bed on a Sunday morning to look through. Glad I bought it.

Pages and pages of beautiful, comfortable homes that are the antithesis of minimalism. Rooms full of personality, making you want to live in them.

What a bargain of a book ! ...the cover is stunning, just right for a coffee table, great to keep picking up and browsing. The pictures of designer homes is a must to see, a real inspiration

One of the best design books ever!

O livro é maravilhoso

Great book

Those who love classic, relatable English decorating (as opposed to unapproachable, grandiose interiors) will welcome this handsome book which showcases 23 designers. The photography, which includes exterior and interior images, is excellent and the text is interesting. The author included a few designers who deviate from what I think of as classic — Beata Heuman and Alidad come to mind — but it only goes to show how vibrant the design world is in the UK. I loaned it to a friend and she ordered her own copy; I next shared it with a neighbor and began to wonder if I would see the book again.

I love love love this book and highly recommend it to interior design lovers or for people who just love good coffee table books about interiors, its a joy to read and so through.
