In this new, special edition of a cult classic work, photographer
Derry Moore and interior designer David Mlinaric take readers on a
panoramic tour inside some of Britain's finest buildings, guiding
them through five centuries of English interior design. Mlinaric's
informed text and Moore's perceptive photographs present the best
examples of both public and private buildings- from
sixteenth-century Haddon Hall, Chastleton and Knole to
seventeenth-century Hatfield and Wilton; Houghton Hall and Syon
House from the eighteenth century; Apsley House, the Palace of
Westminster and Waddesdon Manor from the nineteenth; and
twentieth-century examples including Charleston and the Apollo
Victoria Theatre. The work of British masters including Inigo
Jones, William Kent and Robert Adam, as well as of influential
twentieth-century tastemakers such as Nancy Lancaster, Pauline de
Rothschild and David Hicks, is revealed in striking photographs and
authoritative texts. Anglophiles, armchair tourists, and lovers of
grand interiors will relish the photographs of these wonderful
buildings, while discovering more about the designers and
architects who built them, charting the evolution that has made
British style so alluring, enduring, and widely imitated over the
centuries.

My Cool Campervan celebrates a new wave of interest in modern-retro
campervans. Join Jane Field-Lewis and Chris Haddon as they set off
on a 3500-mile trip to locate campervans and proud owners, sharing
their memories of family holidays under candy-striped pop-top roofs
and of sunny days and simple pleasures. Delve into a world of
road-tripping as Jane and Chris introduce us to a succession of
distinctive campervans, memorable locations and classic models, at
times beautifully restored, and at others well-loved and well-used.
My Cool Campervan reveals a world beyond the stereotype, of vintage
vans from another era, forgotten rarities and beautifully restored
mass-produced models. Chapters include: Old Retro: In the 1970s and
80s as the motor industry turned its sights towards the global
market, campervan designs began to change. Simple Life: Exploring
functional campervans where styling doesn't overwhelm function and
where vans are so well designed in the first place, there's nothing
more to add than the journey. Weird and Wonderful: From a converted
French fire truck, to an 'extension' to a regular saloon car, these
campers are customized, unusual and have been created to provide
space. American Beauties: The large American Recreational Vehicles,
or RVs, fulfill just about everyone's expectations of a comfortable
life on the road. The enduring appeal of the RV lies in its iconic
design and long association with the romantic notion of the great
road journey. Classics: Some vehicle designs last longer than
others. The VW T2 campervan is, without doubt, the front runner.
New Retro: Reflecting owners' unique styles and interest, the
vehicles here function as an artist's workroom or as a
photographer's studio; these are not only places to camp out or
chill out, they are happy extensions of creative lives.

In this beautifully illustrated guide, best-selling author Sally
Coulthard demonstrates how to transform your living and working
spaces into places that put you in touch with nature. Eight
inspiring chapters cover key elements for the 'biophilic home',
including materials, views, colour and natural light. Each section
explores the links between home, health and happiness, drawing on
environmental research and neuroscience while making practical
suggestions for bringing the natural world into your home. Bring
nature indoors with flowers and plants, rediscover the innate
pleasure of real fires and fresh air, and learn how to improve your
mood and sleep patterns with dynamic light. Create a space filled
with natural elements, patterns, nature's colours, fabrics and
textures that lift your mood; find out why natural sounds and water
are soothing; and learn how to make small changes that will
inspire, invigorate and enrich your relationship with the natural
world. 'As best-selling author and designer, Sally Coulthard,
reveals in this guide, creating a 'biophilic home' can have a huge
impact on your wellbeing; improving your mood and encouraging
healthier sleep patterns...Be it plants, materials, colour or
light, it's enlightening to see how small changes can make a big
difference, while deepening your respect and correlation to the
natural world.' FORBES Magazine 'How to embrace the natural world
by transforming your interior spaces with specific materials,
colours, views and sounds.' Gardens Illustrated 'Humans are
mammals, programmed over millennia to respond to the natural world.
We may be able to live and work in man-made environments most of
the time. But according to a new movement of "biophilic" designers
and enthusiasts, we are not thriving...writer Sally Coulthard
likens it to the practice of keeping animals in captivity, in
surroundings ill-suited to their needs. "We live in a world that is
fundamentally mismatched to our evolutionary adaptation - we don't
see, hear and feel the things that we are programmed to respond
to," she writes.' Financial Times 'In this beautifully illustrated
hardback, Coulthard explores the many benefits of biophilic design,
drawing on environmental and neuroscientific research to uncover
the links between home, health and happiness. A fascinating and
uplifting read that looks at the science behind feel good
furnishings.' The Independent 'Never before has the need been
greater for being more connected with the natural world, as more
and more of us spend longer periods in our own homes. Divided into
eight chapters covering key elements for the 'biophilic home',
including materials, views, colour and natural light, the book
explores the links between home, health and happiness. Drawing on
environmental research and neuroscience, Sally makes practical
suggestions for bringing the natural world into our homes,
positively impacting cognitive function, psychological health and
general well-being.' The Lifestyle Editor '...bestselling author
Sally Coulthard picks out...the easiest ways we can bring nature
indoors' Town and Country House magazine '[Sally] recounts how
biophilia, the idea that humans are viscerally wired to feel a
communion with the natural world, has shifted from a hypothesis
espoused by the biologist Edward O. Wilson and others to the
emergence of urban beekeeping, increasingly diverse city gardens
and wild ideas for residences and workplaces.' New York Times 'an
excellent book' 50 Plus Magazine 'Sally Coulthard's new book
'Biophilia', explains how important the colours of the natural
world are for decorating' Esquire Magazine 'Biophilia, a new book
by Yorkshire author Sally Coulthard, reveals how staying close to

She covers proper lighting, temperature, and airflow; decorating
with natural materials; beneficial colors and patterns, and more.'

read for many a year, with such fabulously written text, I have to
say it is such a delight to read, you feel like you are holding
nature in your hands. Each page brings with it something inspiring,

temperature, views, spaces, water and more.' Argenta Wellness 'Our
senses are wired to seek out the natural world. In author and
designer Sally Coulthard's exploration of organic and natural

choices based on the whims of others. It's time to change paths.

"An interior is the natural projection of the soul." - CoCo Chanel.
In the field of design, nothing stands still forever. Cycles come
and go, reconfiguring the old to create the new. What was once
hidden is now boldly displayed. The raw materials that comprise
modern interiors have been given centre stage, handicraft is no
longer considered 'old-fashioned', but has instead become a key
instigator for design, and dark colours are back in vogue.
Materials are allowed to have patina again, bearing the signs of
their age and use. Industrial, rusted iron; brushed granite;
untreated wood...It is all coming back! The retro revival promises
to inject new energy into the design world, making pure beauty
stand out. Design blogger Irene Schampaert guides you in
discovering these exciting new trends.
'The ultimate traveller guilty pleasure, offering a look inside
some of the most compelling cabins around the world' Lonely Planet
Initially created by a group of friends as an online scrapbook,
Cabin Porn became a phenomenon following the publication of the
first volume of photographs of hand-made homes in breathtaking
natural landscapes around the world. This new book - now available
as a compact paperback - delves deeper into the best-loved homes
featured on the blog over the last ten years, offering close-ups of
the stunning architecture and interior design that make them truly
remarkable. With more timeless photography and compelling design
stories, Cabin Porn: Inside brings fresh inspiration for your quiet
place somewhere.
There's no such thing as too many books, simply not enough places
to put them Decluttering is all the rage, but what do you do when
your preferred interior decor is miles of overstuffed bookshelves?
If you can't bring yourself to clear your collection, SHELF RESPECT
will validate your life choices. Do you alphabetise your books or
organise by genre... or (heaven forbid) colour? Have you merged
your collection with your other half's? (And do you write your name
inside the cover, just in case?) Do you keep all the books you've
read, or only the most cherished? Is there such a thing as too many
books? (No.) Bound to provoke (good-natured) debate between
Bibliophiles, SHELF RESPECT is a charmingly illustrated book in
defence of towering TBR piles and overflowing shelves... no matter
how you choose to organise them.
