Author Henrietta Spencer-Churchill could not be better placed to write a book on classic interior design. Brought up in Blenheim Palace, she has been surrounded by beautiful buildings, furniture and furnishings all her life. Her keen eye and design experience ensure a book to be respected by professionals and amateurs alike. In this lavishly photographed book she advises how to integrate classical designs into today's modern settings. Using the background of real settings, both in Europe and America, she demonstrates how Baroque, Georgian, Colonial, Federal, American Empire, Regency and Victorian style can be happily incorporated into today's homes. From structural details to wall and floor coverings, furniture to drapes, every aspect of decor from the eras of great design is clearly explained in Henrietta's intelligent, easy-to-read text. Whatever your tastes you will find plenty to inspire in this fabulously produced book. Dip in and discover a world of understated elegance and let Henrietta show you how to transform your home with "Classic Interior Design". - Lucy Watson
