Think natural, loosen up, pare down, color in, and above all, live well! These are the key words of the new country living, and no home better exemplifies this wonderful philosophy than decorator Tricia Guild's Tuscan farmhouse. A tour around this warm and wonderful home is the centerpiece in a richly photographed look at what defines the best contemporary design. The first section, "A New Attitude," pinpoints the main features of this current approach. Then, the intimate glimpse into Guild's private world, as well as four other houses, spotlights her love of natural materials, her uncluttered arrangements, her loose approach to fabric, and bold use of color--as well as the inspiration she draws from the surrounding landscape. Rooms glow with brightness; her kitchen bursts with fresh produce; inside and out, tables are laid with embroidered cloths, jugs of garden flowers, vibrant mismatched plates, and delicious local foods. Finally, "Living and Entertaining" is an exhortation to fill your world with pleasure, and to bring exuberance not only to your dcor and design, but to all you do. None of the ideas is expensive, and every one is innovative, easy, and life enhancing!

Tricia Guild's status as a designer is legendary. Her company Designer's Guild sells collections of her fabrics, paints, wallpaper, and furnishings all over the world. This collection is a mix of inspirations from all walks of life, and all corners of the world with photographs and text grouped together.
Tricia Guild's gift for colour, her understanding of space and proportion, her brilliance at mixing pattern and her feminine view of the world make her collections and the rooms in which they are applied considered stylish and beautiful. Over the years her collections have varied from hot colours to cool shades of white, from floral prints in every shape and size to stripes and plaids, yet in every case they are recognisable as designs by Tricia Guild. Tricia now presents a collection of international locations decorated with her designs. This is a confident statement encapsulating everything that is memorable about her, certain, style. Each of the fourteen locations featured in the book is viewed throughout, to show how Tricia enhances different types of room and connects spaces. Plus, Elspeth Thompson's descriptive text interprets how each effect is achieved and James Merrell's state-of-the-art photography makes every room glow with light and colour.
