Classic English style offers a comfortable, timeless, and informal aesthetic, often associated with grand settings like rectories, manor houses, and country hotels. This book demonstrates how Perfect English style can be adapted to suit homes of any size, age, or design. Author Ros Byam Shaw explores 12 charming small homes, including a terraced townhouse in Ludlow, a gardener’s cottage in Kent, a compact London flat, and a quintessential Cotswolds country cottage. In today’s focus on sustainability, Perfect English style emphasizes reuse, recycling, and upcycling, embracing worn and mended items. Perfect English Small and Beautiful showcases how to elegantly downscale without losing character or style.
