A house with true style perfectly complements its owner's character and way of life. In this book, Vogue goes behind some elegant closed doors to reveal places where such style abounds — some of the most beautiful interiors in Britain and abroad — the homes of architects, writers, cooks, gossips, painters and potters, the famous, the untidy — through echoing halls, peeling walls, from the apparently simple like the Carrington Cottage in Oxfordshire to the wildly eccentric Erté's castle in France. Whether flats or mansions, cottages or châteaux, they all reflect their owner's personality. The book explores the work of the great interior designers — David Mlinaric's homes in London and East Anglia, John Stefanidis' converted cowshed in Dorset, David Hicks' suite of rooms in Piccadilly, revealing work which the designers have done for themselves with their ideas explained in detail.

A house with true style perfectly complements its owner's character and way of life. In this book, Vogue goes behind some elegant closed doors to reveal places where such style abounds — some of the most beautiful interiors in Britain and abroad — the homes of architects, writers, cooks, gossips, painters and potters, the famous, the untidy — through echoing halls, peeling walls, from the apparently simple like the Carrington Cottage in Oxfordshire to the wildly eccentric Erté's castle in France. Whether flats or mansions, cottages or châteaux, they all reflect their owner's personality. The book explores the work of the great interior designers — David Mlinaric's homes in London and East Anglia, John Stefanidis' converted cowshed in Dorset, David Hicks' suite of rooms in Piccadilly, revealing work which the designers have done for themselves with their ideas explained in detail. Another section shows the homes of those inspired amateurs who have abandoned convention in favour of their own instincts. Familiar things are seen in new perspectives, sometimes through juxtapositions — a huge bowl on a small table — or through unusual insight as in the house of the potter Michael Cardew who loved the walls darkened to deep brown by smoke from the fire. Frbm fashion editor Grace Coddington's two white rooms in Fulham to Teddy Millington Drake's converted Tuscan farmhouse, here are secrets of design and a fascinating insight into people's lives. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this is a book overflowing with ideas and inspiration that can be put to practical use: from their house to your house
