This was a Christmas present for my daughter, but I spent most of Boxing Day looking at it. She is obsessed with both dogs and interior design - as are many, many people in this, the year of coronavirus - and this is definitely the sort of ‘style’ book which bridges the gap between Instagram and traditional decorating books. It’s all about ‘lifestyle’, not to mention aspirational lifestyle, but it’s also about that most traditional of creature comforts: a warm dog on the sofa. Definitely for the sort of person who likes a bit of mid-century style, some vintage pieces, a bit of eclectic art and a photogenic dog.
I should add that the dogs are personalised, and not just ‘props’ for the pretty pictures. Rescue dogs are an important sub-topic in the book and several of the dogs have their own features, quite aside from the decor. There are also some helpful tips for making your interior decor not just stylish but also ‘dog-friendly’ - friendly in the sense of comfortable for the dog, but also in the sense of hard-wearing and capable of enduring muddy paws.
