This book written by garden designer John Brookes and interior specialist Eluned Price, brings house and garden together in one treatment and describes in detail how to design your house and garden so that they match each other in terms of style. Each case study has been specially chosen to illustrate a particular style, be it classical, modern, town, cottage or country. Properties range from a city loft and neo-classical villa to a country retreat and minimalist conversion, but always house and garden have been conceived as one design. There is also a look at the development of integrated style over the centuries and a practical section which looks at the elements that help to create a unified look, from walls and windows, flooring and furnishings,to terraces, pergolas, conservatories and sunrooms.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Most books view landscaping and interior design as separate. Garden designer Brookes (John Brookes' Garden Design Workbook, DK, 1994) and design writer Price show how the two can complement each other. An introduction presents a historical overview of homes and gardens that integrated garden and interior design. Then the idea is illustrated with homes that currently make use of a unifying design. An examination of how windows, flooring, and furnishings are used to create an integrated look closes the work. Unique and valuable, this is essential for any interior design collection.
