Кантри - это один из самых популярных и любимых стилей. Однако, если об интерьерах в этом стиле написано много, то о каминах кантри что-либо найти практически невозможно.

А между тем, дизайн каминов в стиле кантри имеет ряд законов. Какой формы должен быть камин, какие отделочные материалы выбрать, сколько будет стоить такой камин?
На эти и многие другие вопросы можно найти профессиональные ответы в новой книге.

Книга написана дизайнером каминов и печником. Авторы постарались популярно изложить основные черты каминов в стиле кантри. Для лучшего понимания законов стиля авторы приводят пять примеров с подробными рекомендациями по сочетанию отделочных материалов. Схемы сочетания материалов и фактур могут быть полезны и для каминов других стилей.

Книга содержит сметы материалов и общие рекомендации по строительству и расположению каминов в помещении. Единственное, чего нет в этой книге - это советов о том, как порезать кирпич и замесить раствор. Об этом уже написано достаточно.

В книге подробно рассказывается об истории камина и об эволюции его форм. Вы познакомитесь с интерьерами разных эпох и стилей и увидите, какую роль в оформлении интерьера гостиной, спальни или ванной комнаты может играть камин. Открытый огонь поможет вам расслабиться, повысить работоспособность, улучшить взаимоотношения с окружающими, лучше спать. Открытый огонь очень успокаивает. Он выполняет роль очага или места, вокруг которого люди, собаки и кошки хотят собраться и раствориться в изменчивых бликах огня и пляшущих теней. Дизайнеры богатых домов отводили каминам не только функциональную роль, но также создавали их как декоративный элемент в интерьере. Камин не потерял популярности, несмотря на то, что перестал быть жизненно необходимым.

"Камин - это построенная из кирпича, либо только из металлического листа печь, с открытым проемом, направленным в сторону обогреваемого помещения; его роль состоит в том, чтобы отдать как можно больше тепла".

Однако чтобы создать, построить такой камин, мы должны знать, где, из чего и как сделать его. Может быть, эта книга, в которой содержится много фотографий и описаний уже осуществленных вариантов, пробудит у вас желание построить собственный камин; а чертежи, сделанные на уровне проектов, и объяснения к ним станут для заказчиков, проектировщиков и строителей хорошим подспорьем в осуществлении выбранной идеи.
