Design/DÃ cor: French Country

The prospect of decorating a home can be overwhelming. Where do you begin? How do you ensure that the whole house will convey your personal vision? Design/Decor: French Country proposes an approach that’s as effective as it is sensible: you do it one room at a time. In re-imagining the country house, this beautifully photographed book presents a range of ideas as applicable to an American vacation retreat as they are to an old stone cottage in Provence.

From entryway to kitchen, living room to dining room, bedroom to bath, the book explores each of the design elements that, when carefully coordinated, will transform every space into a harmonious whole. Throughout, French Country emphasizes the interaction—so essential to a house in the country—of the interior environment and the natural world outside.
