English Houses
"Eight years have passed since the first edition of this book. It's wonderful to see it being reprinted again, not least, I think, because it proves the adage that while nothing dates as quickly as fashion, nothing stays in fashion longer than timeless design--which is really at the core of what I try to do." In this timeless and beautiful book, now reissued complete with a brand-new introduction, renowned architectural and interior designer Ben Pentreath presents an insightful overview of the classic English style. The classic English interior is a timeless one, characterized by richness of color and texture, a mixture of old and new pieces and a generous layering of books, paintings, cushions, and flowers. In English Houses, Ben visits 12 classically English homes divided into three sections: London, Country, and Country House. The interiors featured range from a 1930s pied-a-terre in London's historic St James district to a townhouse in North London to designer Veere Grenney's tiny Palladian folly in Suffolk to Wardington, a 16th-century manor house in Oxfordshire. Ben's own homes, an apartment in London and a farmhouse in West Dorset, are also included. These homes vary greatly in architecture, size, shape, and age, but they all have in common the English style--richly-layered rooms that deftly intertwine color and pattern and a mix of old and new furniture to create timeless and comfortable places to live.

Alfredo Paredes at Home
The first book by the interior designer who made his name as chief creative officer for Ralph Lauren--he brought us the legendary Polo Bar and the Madison Avenue flagship store's immersive windows and retail environments, and now he shows us how to fashion our own homes to reflect his signature coolly casual and comfortable look. While touring readers through four of his own homes, Paredes shares the key elements in his creative process, giving us access to the same tools he uses in every home to decorate rooms that feel modern even as they glamorize the past, to show us how an environment has real power to transform our very state of mind. Paredes is renowned for being a master of extrapolating an entire theme from one unique item, say transforming the stripe of a crisp Oxford shirt into a unique upholstery perfect for the seaside, or finding inspiration for a couch's decorative fringe in a well-worn piece of leather ranch gear. He is said to have "perfect visual pitch," creating vignettes and rooms with an energy that feels undeniably masculine and sophisticated thanks to dark wood, iron railings, rustic fabrics, an overall patina, and soft furnishings in soothing earth tones.
