LIVING IN NEW RUSTIC STYLE

In this book, writer/stylist Vivienne Ayers and photographer Brent Darby take us on a journey through picturesque locations in England, Wales, Ireland, Italy, Majorca and New Zealand, unearthing the most chic modern country homes. Architecturallyvaried - the homes range from converted workshops to cabins, farmhouses to historic pubs, newbuilds to old barns - each one is packed with personality, epitomising a soulful interior. In these inspirational homes, chintz has been chucked and frills forgotten in favour of a more minimalist, clean-lined approach that evokes a simpler, calmer aesthetic. Country style has well and truly been brought into the modern day.

These homeowners are tastemakers, leading the way with characterful interiors that are every bit as beautiful as their idyllic surroundings. Let these uplifting spaces inspire you and help bring some joy to your own home.
