Living with Arts and Crafts

Arts and Crafts designs - both originals and reproductions - are the timeless choice for today's pared-down interiors. They are associated with the use of fine natural materials, solid construction and the highest standards of craftsmanship. This book is for everyone who wants a taste of this style, whether your goal is a faithful recreation of the look or a sympathetic mix of the authentic and the contemporary. The Rooms shows a range of modern homes - some in which Arts and Crafts has been combined with modern living to create a fresh new look, and others in which a more traditional approach has been taken. The Elements of the look are then explored in detail, from pattern and motif to furniture, metalware, lighting and textiles.
