Country living has long been associated with a rustic way of life and a sense of tradition. This strong appreciation of rural traditions does not mean, however, that all country homes are relics of the past. Contemporary solutions and innovative ideas work equally well when old spaces are given over to new uses, converted, renovated or just revived. A country house is intimately connected to the land and all its seasons and is built to last using natural, indigenous materials. These are the core qualities of the countryside style, whether old or new. Full of inspiration on how to achieve that highly desirable ideal of comfortable country living combined with the clean lines and edited design of today, Countryside Living shows work by architects and designers who have helped evolve the country house look. Containing never before seen images, this new book is a source of inspiration to interior designers, architects, and home owners, and a must-have for rural house enthusiasts.

More than ever our homes are our sanctuaries. A beautiful home doesn't rest on great design alone - it's shaped by the people who live there. It tells a story; it should be a celebration of the family that resides there, family and friends are at the center of it all. A home is our sense of security, belonging and identity. It is our memory vault, it centres us and provides us with a sense of calm and well-being. The most welcoming homes reflect the personality of the host and beckon guests to sit down and stay for a while among friends. This new book invites the reader into homes created by 17 influential tastemakers: a Hamptons farmhouse, a classic historical home in Belgium, a lakeside contemporary retreat, a modern French villa, a Neoclassical townhouse, a Majorca summer home, ... All with a global feel that they haven't been renovated in the traditional sense but are true homes, full of charm, character, and style. These diverse residential spaces span from the United States and Italy, to France, Spain, Germany, Belgium and Sweden. Whether the architecture is traditional or ultramodern, all homes exude a casual, comfortable elegance. They reflect the personalities and stories of the people who live there. The architects and interior designers featured in The Home Makers try to give a sense of home to what they design. They avoid elements and materials that are too fashionable. A house has to be grand, but it has to be warm and soulful at the same time. All interiors featured in The Home makers are livable, for people who don't necessarily want to be trendy but want to have incredible quality in a house that will last twenty years or more, not five. For them, the house is the ultimate form of self-expression. An inspirational and richly illustrated book for everyone who cares about the spaces in which they live. And an absolute must for every library of interior design.
