New English Interiors: At Home with Today's Creatives

English interior design style has remained a persistent trend, characterized by evolving approaches to color, pattern, and eccentricity. This book explores the homes of 22 of England's creative professionals, photographed by Dean Hearne and documented by interiors writer Elizabeth Metcalfe. The featured interiors showcase how wallpapers, fabrics, collected objects, and charming details combine to create spaces that embrace individuality. Key elements include layered design that develops gradually over time. The homes range from fashion stylist and designer Lucinda Chambers' colorful residence in west London to illustrator Fee Greening's earth-toned cottage in Dorset. Other interiors belong to designer Cath Kidston, artists Annie Morris and Idris Khan, and designers Luke Edward Hall and Duncan Campbell. While these spaces vary aesthetically—from bold and theatrical to earthy and homespun—they share a common quality: each serves as a deeply personal visual expression of its owner. These interiors are not static; they continue to evolve, which contributes to their appeal. Spanning from small city flats to country cottages, the book demonstrates how to incorporate layers of color and pattern while allowing personal taste to guide home decoration.
