English Decoration by Ben Pentreath
Eighteen homes, many of which have never been previously photographed, provide the source material for his wide-ranging investigation of this classic look. The houses include Ben's own homes in London and West Dorset, alongside those of Earls and artists, writers and architects, book designers and gardeners. The book opens with an essay on the English style in decoration, and then entrance halls, living rooms, kitchens and dining rooms and bedrooms and bathrooms are considered in turn, together with simple Rooms of Utility and spectacular Rooms of Display. There is also a foreword by Nicky Haslam, suggestions for further reading, and a style directory that reveals Ben's own favorite sources--helping you to achieve the classic English look, wherever you live.Ben Pentreath is one of London’s leading architectural and interior designers. He owns an interiors shop, Ben Pentreath Ltd, has a renowned design blog, and is a columnist for the Financial Times. Ben’s architectural practice has worked on projects from housing developments for The Prince of Wales to private houses in the UK, Ireland and the US.
