New English Interiors

These homes were eclectic and stunning! Every time I looked at the photos I found something new to admire about everyone's living space.

The layout was done really well and I loved the profiles on each of the owners. Definitely a refreshing perspective shift from the typical crisp, modern and minimalist decor we typically see highlighted now.

This book was just wonderful! I loved the beautiful pictures from start to finish, and the most gorgeous lay outs. Highly recommend.

What a gorgeous book, which provides a smorgasbord of color and design in more than 20 featured homes of English creatives. I oohed and aahed over page after page and imagined living in each compelling abode, from country cottage to urban flat. Highly recommended!

Remember the stereotypical (but held a truth) British interiors of old times?
This is the opposite of it. Vivid, with character and originality, each interior is introduced with their designer and useful and enaging content.
My eyes had a feast but most importantly, I was inspired.

eeeeeep

I love this so much, it's like my Pinterest boards wrote a book

(Growing up on Brambly Hedge books, Tess and Alfred's were some of my favourite)

I also really like Gavin Houghton's take that wallpapers and colours rarely change, that they provide a framework; I can see how choosing things that "fit" in the space makes it easier to come together

Organized chaos, clutter, whatever you want to call it - makes a home feel like home - it just makes my heart so happy

I could honestly sit here and pick out something I loved about each design featured, I need this on my coffee table!

Thank you Frances Lincoln for a copy of New English Interiors!

"Of the countless interior design trends that come and go every year, there is one that endures: the ever-evolving English style. "

A visual treat and a perfect book to have for inspiration! I love looking at each page and savouring each moment! Even if you're not into home decor, this is a good escapist read.

It is so much fun to explore and tour other homes through these pages. So many opportunities for a fresh spark of creativity and inspiration. Eccentric, eclectic, and brilliant! Designs I would never think of pulling off somehow work perfectly. Different homes, styles, and lots of colors! There is nothing subtle about any of these homes, yet they are balanced and welcoming. I appreciated the opportunity to get an insider’s view.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

I'm not into interior design at all, really, but I had just gotten back from England when I came across this book. The interiors are lovely and include several quirky to eccentric choices--at first I didn't realize how many would be featured and thought maybe I wouldn't find any I liked. But I needn't have worried! Patterned wallpaper with printed rugs and bright or vintage furniture, you're bound to find something that will make you smile. Who knew bright colors could also feel so cozy? I bookmarked the 6 that I like best to revisit later.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This is a beautifully photographed collection of interiors! It was interesting reading the profiles of each owner/designer and the thought processes that went into creating their spaces. I cannot wait to add this to our Library's collection once it's released!

Just as the introduction of the books states: this book is a respite for those who can’t take minimalist interiors any longer. Sometimes more is just more lol!

I really enjoyed this book, especially the historical homes. If you’re looking for bold ideas on how to combine multiple textures and colors in a cozy environment, you found your inspiration source!

I read the advanced digital copy, but I think I’ll pre order the physical copy, because it’s just a very nice book to have at the coffee table. The pictures look great on the iPad too if you’re not looking to have a physical copy.

I think one of my favorite aspects of the individual stories in this book is how the people featured have a love and respect for the historical houses they inhabit. Very often we look at major remodeling projects that gut a property and change them drastically. The projects featured are a beautiful assemble of people invested in paying homage to the heritage and bringing that history to the forefront of their living spaces.

Thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Book for the advanced copy!

When I saw the cover of New English Interiors, I knew I had to have it. It promised everything I love about English interior design/style - bold colors, rich textures and patterns, and unique pieces of furniture and decor. And all that and more was delivered.

The book focuses on 22 homes, giving context behind the homes and its inhabitants, the spirit behind the aesthetics, concepts, and thought processes, and there are plenty of beautiful images to feast your eyes upon. I like books set up like this because you walk away with more than just images to try and copy, but also with ideas that you can adapt to work with your own lifestyle and spaces more authentically.

There’s a little bit of everything in here, and while it felt cohesive as a book, I feel like ever entry added to the whole. I really enjoyed this and would definitely recommend to pretty much everyone whether you are looking for a fun coffee table book or are seriously looking to bring some English style into your next home redesign project!

What a visual treat this title is! I loved turning the pages and dreaming of all the places where I will (never) live.

This book showcases twenty-two interiors. I only recognized Cath Kidston’s name in that list but no matter. One does not have to recognize the names to enjoy what has been created. I was sold from the introduction where I saw a colorful bathroom. And, color is really featured in these interiors.

In addition to the gorgeous photos, there is also good text. The author notes that the interiors are rich with feeling and mood. I agree. She is a good guide and I enjoyed meeting those to whom she introduced me.

Whether or not a reader is thinking about decorating, this is a title that makes for a wonderful escapist read.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

This is such a fun book. Every home is colorful, eclectic and personal. Nothing matches, and the spaces are delightful. I love all the use of vintage items, layered rugs, surprising paint colors and oddball items. I also love that these rooms are filled with books, often to the ceiling. I have always looked at bookless rooms with a mixture of horror and distaste. Great inspiration.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.

A gorgeous book I-loved getting to look into the homes of this fabulous group of people.Each home was photographed beautifully,I-loved touring the homes seeing their styles.I will be dipping into this book again and again.#netgalley #quartobooks

I am a huge fan of Interior Decorating books and I absolutely loved this beautifully photographed book featuring the exciting colors and patterns used in Flats and Cottages in England by interior decorators and artists, etc. An eye opening experience being able to peak inside these creatively decorated homes.

This is a beautiful book to sit down and read with a cup of tea and calming music playing in the background. It covers 20 homes of English creatives with their lovely homes filled with bold ideas, rich in color and design. It was delightful to turn the pages to see the bright colors, beautiful and unique patterns and textures along with unique furniture and home decor. I loved reading this on my iPad so that I could see the colors and the format in a magazine style. It would be a perfect addition to a coffee table collection of books to look over at a dinner party or gathering.

This book was very easy to look at, the formatting and graphics were great. I really enjoyed this book, and will be getting a hard copy!

This was so much fun for me!! I am terrible at home decoration; my daughter's friend told his mom in front of me that I clearly don't care what people think. This book showcases several homes that are impeccably decorated by people who clearly have the skills, such as artists and designers. But it also explains how they got their inspiration, how they learned about their own homes, and how they made their choices. Even though the items could look cluttered if someone else decorated them, these items were placed so deliberately. The overall effect is beautiful, charming, cozy, and everything you want in a home. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

A very inspiring look into homes that mix a classic background with a modern and eclectic style. The different stories of the home owners were quite intriguing too and this is certainly a book that I would pick up over and over again just to look at the beautiful photographs.

This is a lovely coffee table book. The pictures are taken for the book, not library pictures so it is very up to date. The people featured in the book are all people who are influencing the world of interiors now and the photos are excellent. There is a brief interview with each of the featured home owners - they are not all interior designers, followed. by a good selection of photos of their houses. I have heard of a lot of the people included, many I already followed on instagram, now I follow quite a few more of them. The book feels very modern and fresh.

This gorgeous coffee table book is great design inspo for artists and creatives. They cover a range of styles and the spaces feel unique, eclectic and lived-in—in the best way possible. There’s lots to see here for those who love layering color, texture, and pattern. Not quite maximalism, but the kind of home where you can see the curatorial impulse is just simply things this creative person loves and is drawn to. And that’s the kind of home I want, so it was a perfect fit for me and an inspiration read. The colors and photos are gorgeous and the book would make a lovely gift for quirky, creative types trying to find their style.
