English Style

Like English literature and English manners, the English style of decorating has been copied and admired for generations around the world. It may be found in an elegant town house with Art Deco features, a Victorian terrace house with original William Morris wallpaper or a graphically severe attic studio.

Suzanne Slesin and Stafford Cliff provide a singularly beautiful and evocative look at the English ways of decorating. Presenting more than 600 colour photographs, English Style examines a myriad of styles with chapters on classic English homes; city houses; flats and studios; conversions; country houses; collecting and English style abroad.
