Traditional English interiors with a colourful twist - but few new photos
I am a huge fan of Nina Campbell's interiors style, which is the polar opposite of the beige-and-black school of bland. She combines beautiful fabrics and colours in a very traditional English way, but mixes unexpected elements such as clever upholstery (the single bed sofa is a style I'm going to try myself), modern cabinetry (I covet her magenta-coloured mirrored bookshelves), and very interesting contemporary art.
This book features several pictures of Nina's own house, which is as lovely as you'd expect, together with some useful floor plans. Other pictures are clearly just taken from her previous books, which is a bit of a shame, as it would be great to see more of her work.
As usual in interiors publishing, the text is not especially helpful, so don't have high expectations of practical help. But the pictures are a good resource for decorators both professional and amateur, and a delight for 'property porn' addicts like myself.
