Classic English Interiors

by Henrietta Spencer-Churchill

Classic English Interiors is a sumptuous showcase for a distinctive style that is now as popular in Manhattan as in the country houses of England.

Written by The Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill, the book is divided into two parts. The first half reveals the private and the public side of Blenheim Palace, her ancestral home, explores the country houses of Oxfordshire from which Lady Henrietta drew much of her inspiration and features selections from Woodstock Designs portfolio. Her fascinating text reveals life behind the scenes in some of Britain's most beautiful country houses. Hundreds of specially commissioned photographs show she translated the confident sweep of classic English style to produce homes of great elegance; comfortable family spaces; fresh, simple schemes and smart, stylish ones.

[Carmen · Rating 3 out of 5]

if you like floral prints, closed rooms, carpets and lots of furniture and accessories this style is for you. I noticed that almost all the rooms were in warm colors: red, coral, pink, yellow with just a touch of green or blue. No rooms in neutrals, purple or even kid rooms.
