Easy Cottage Style: Comfortable interiors for country living

by Liz Bauwens, Alexandra Campbell

Overview

Easy Cottage Style offers a fresh, contemporary take on country house style that is ideally suited to relaxed, modern living and easy to achieve in your own home.

Country style evokes ideas of natural comfort – the warm glow of a winter fire or floral fabrics swaying in a summer breeze – which can be recreated in all types of interiors. In this book, inspiring case studies demonstrate how every room can be given a taste of rustic charm: the kitchen made warm and comfortable, the bedroom soft and romantic, and the living room natural and tranquil. Even antiques can be used in a contemporary way, as we all embrace the importance of sustainability in our daily lives. Easy Cottage Style highlights new ways to look at the country and shows you how vintage and second-hand finds can enrich your home.
