This irresistible book draws its inspiration from the rural way of life. Colours are soft whites or muted brights, and fabrics are natural. Furnishings are a beguiling mixture of family treasures, junk-shop finds and contemporary designs. Above all, "Comfortable Country" advocates the joy of keeping things simple and very comfortable. Enrica Stabile starts by looking at the elements of country life that contribute to and influence the look, such as Changing Seasons, Utility, and Natural Materials. She goes on to explore how the style works in the home, in living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and outdoors. "Comfortable Country" celebrates a style that is simple without being stark, and pretty but unfussy.
