Georgian Style and Design: For Contemporary Living by Henrietta Spencer-Churchill

Description

Classic design is ultimately about proportion and harmony, concepts at the core of every successful interior. In this inspiring book, Henrietta Spencer-Churchill showcases her portfolio of work – projects which include the renovation and refurbishment of authentic Georgian interiors and several remarkable newly-built homes in Britain and in America where a sense of Georgian elegance was created from a blank canvas. Proceeding room by room, she examines how updated Georgian style relates to contemporary living. In addition to the staple interior spaces such as the living room, kitchen and bedroom, the book uncovers new applications of Georgian style in such contemporary ‘must-haves’ like home offices, media rooms, fitness rooms and the transformation of the bath into the home spa. With each chapter illustrated with photographs that demonstrate the meaning of pleasing proportions and good layouts, this is the classic design book for twenty-first century living. It proves that passing fads are no substitute for the thoughtful, well-crafted interior spaces that are Henrietta Spencer-Churchill’s trademark. • Beautiful photography by Christopher Drake accompanies insider tips and practical advice from this top interior designer. • Create ambience by combining colours, shapes and texture. • Advice that can be applied to all types of home – apartments, cottages, townhouses and country homes.
