AUTHOR
SUMMARY
No one combines comfort & grandeur quite so well as the British; for this reason English style remains classic & popular. The English Room takes you on a room-by-room exploration of the English home, contrasting town with country life, rooms designed for pleasure with those for more practical needs, & rooms meant to receive visitors with those that are private retreats. Terraces & verandas, patios & conservatories reflect a love of the outdoors that is an essential part of English life. Chippy & Keith Irvine cover the history & changes in customs that have contributed to the creation of the English home, providing inspiration for today's interior decorator. Specially commissioned photographs by Christopher Simon Sykes illustrate The English Room, from terraced town houses to a country rectory, an imaginative warehouse conversion to a Regency villa. Country cottages & London flats, high-ceilinged sitting rooms & stone-flagged farmhouse kitchens all conjure up that essential Englishness.Irvine, Chippy is the author of 'English Room' with ISBN 9780821227053 and ISBN 082122705X.
