內容簡介

有些裝飾風格的保質期比其他風格長。其中持久的是被稱為英式鄉村風格的東西，它在城市公寓或郊區住宅中的效果與在教區或莊園中的效果一樣好。

我們可能會認識到一個室內環境是典型的英式風格，但要準確地指出是什麼使其成為英式風格是很困難的。英式風格的優點之一是它不具有規定性。事實上，恰恰相反。它是輕鬆的、自由放任的，而且具有無窮無盡的適應性--毫無疑問，所有這些原因都是它能夠享有如此長壽的原因。當你看到它時，你可能知道它，但它的基本成分是什麼？在《完美的英式風格》中，羅斯-拜厄姆-肖考察了一系列具有強烈英式感覺的房間。碰巧的是，幾乎所有的房間都在英國，儘管這種風格在世界各地都有，從美洲到安第斯羣島，即使加入了外國成分，仍然以英國風味為主。她探討了房子的主要房間、它們的特點和傢俱，以及它們如何實現舒適、非正式和視覺魅力的混合，這是英式風格的標誌。Ros還對具體細節進行了研究：銅鏽的品質、織物的重要作用、如何購買幷包括古董和復古傢俱，以及無論是鵝卵石還是18世紀的玻璃，收藏品如何增加個性和特色。

Some styles of decorating have a longer shelf life than others. One of the most durable is what has come to be known as English Country Style, which works just as well in a city apartment or suburban home as it does in a rectory or manor house.

We may recognize an interior as archetypally English, but putting a finger on exactly what makes it so can be tricky. One of the strengths of English style is that it isn’t preive. In fact, quite the opposite. It is relaxed, laissez-faire, and endlessly adaptable—all reasons, no doubt, why it has enjoyed such longevity. You may know it when you see it, but what are its essential ingredients? In Perfect English Style, Ros Byam Shaw looks at a range of rooms with a strong English feel to them. As it happens, almost all are in England, although this is a look that travels the world, from the Americas to the Antipodes, still predominantly English in flavor even when spiced with foreign ingredients. She explores the main rooms of a house, their characteristics and furnishings, and how they achieve that mix of comfort, informality, and visual charm that is the hallmark of English style. Ros also homes in on specifics: the qualities of patina, the important role of fabrics, how to buy and include antique and vintage furnishings, and how a collection, whether of pebbles or 18th-century glass, adds individuality and character.
