The word "country" evokes a timeless simplicity, where classic form is married to a soft decorative feel with an informal use of colour and pattern, where light and space are at the heart of every room. With the re-introduction of colour and pattern to interior design and the perennial popularity of natural materials, contemporary country style offers urban and suburban homes a simple, accessible vision of stylish living, which is also supremely comfortable, often understated but immediately appreciated. Country in the City takes new and traditional elements of country style and re-interprets them for today’s interiors, showing how to work with light, space, colour and pattern in all kinds of houses, conversions, maisonettes and apartments to create the ultimate in stylish living.
