Pure Style Outdoors: Accessible Ideas For Making The Most Of Your Outdoor Space

by Jane Cumberbatch

The basis of Jane Cumberbatch's approach to interior design and decoration is a pared-down uncluttered look, a relaxed mood, and the timeless appeal of natural materials. In "Pure Style Outdoors", she takes her accessible style outside the home to help you make the most of your garden space, whether it is a modest city balcony, roof terrace, or rambling country garden. The book features inspirational suggestions for all the elements that make up the garden - including colour and lighting, boundaries, surfaces, and containers - complemented by the author's favourite selection of flowers, herbs, fruit, vegetables, and other plants.

From the Introduction, which captures the essence of why I love this book: "Pure Style Outdoors is about experiencing the obvious, simple pleasures in life (the very elements that many of us neglect in the hurly-burly of daily living), such as cooking with homegrown herbs, cutting your own roses for the table, or the sheer peace of sitting outside on a warm starry night."

This also has great photographs of garden spaces/vignettes. Photos are eye-popping, but pretty rustic and maybe a little contrived. Author is from England.
