Having previously purchased the brilliant "Bazaar Style" by the very talented stylist/writer Selina Lake I was excited to hear about this new publication, and it does not disappoint! Full of beautiful pictures and homes, and inspirational ideas/writing. There are many books and magazines which cover this "genre", but this is definitely a personal favourite. For someone who reads a lot of these, I was surprised by the amount of new ideas and pictorial influences I picked up in one read. Anyone with an interest in this type of interior will be very satisfied with this book. Can't wait for the next!

This is a really lovely book. I have to admit to spending alot of money on these types of books, I love them and this is definately going to be in the favourite pile, along with 'Bazaar Style' by the same stylist. It is full of beautiful rooms and ideas, so much so (to my husbands horror) I want to redecorate and insist on getting up the whole family on a sunday morning to hit local car boot sales! Anyway I would definately suggest you buy this book pour a glass of something and enjoy!

I just LOVE this book, because it has everything i love about interiors. Vintage fabric, roses, repurposed furniture, eclectic mixes of old and new, framed art, white with colourful cushions....the list goes on!
I also feel the enthusiasm that Selina, Sara, and Debbie have placed into it. They really care about their subject and creating this book must have been a shared passion.
To me this always adds to the reader's enjoyment of a book. It feels fresh and brimming with new ideas and interiors that haven't been seen before.
It inspires with ideas for ways of decorating, that can be adapted to suit a smaller budget or smaller scale room. It has achieveable looks that uplift and brighten our everyday tasks.
There is a good balance between the colourful and the paired down, more neutral decor. With plenty of ideas for each room, this styling book is going to be a favourite of mine for many years to come.

Roses, roses all the way
"Romantic style needn't be frilly, pink or frivolous", the authors tell us on page 20. Indeed, according to this book, it can be elegant, modern or simple. Read more
