I thought this book was truly excellent - beautiful photographs and explanations for the different retro styles. Really great inspiration, and I would whole heartedly recommend this book.

Stacks of photos of mid century interiors including some real shockers (thankfully there are some more normal rooms too). Good for inspiration regarding details. Features a fair few American 'ranch' houses. Could do with a few more interiors in smaller British houses as far as I'm concerned but then it doesn't advertise itself as showing these so can't complain...

I love mid-century style but am often put off by... well.. how OLD it can make a room look. This book inspired me to integrate my love of 50s and 70s interior design but with a modern twist. And the best part is I can still shop at Habitat. YAY!
