Based on the hugely popular blog, magazine, and Instagram account of the same name, The Bible of British Taste explores the meaning of traditional British style. Rejecting the pristine and predictable in favour of the livedin and characterful, this is an aesthetic created from art, antiques, the reused, found and handmade and the layers of history laid down by generations of home makers. As author Ruth Guilding puts it My personal mantra for the descriptions of people and their houses in this book roughly seems to be that old stuff is good, and perfection is boring.Taking her contexts from William Morris, the Bloomsbury set and todays leading artistic makers and innovators, Guilding explores the meaning of home and our everlasting preoccupation with domestic taste, selfpresentation and decorating styles, With hundreds of images of remarkable gardens and interiors, domestic icons and folk art narratives, and featuring renowned tastemakers from Sir Roy Strong and Jasper Conran to Luke Edward Hall, Bridget Elworthy of the Land Gardeners and Ben Pentreath The Bible of British Taste shines a new light on the quirky charms of unconventional British style.With unrivalled access to some of Britains most extraordinary homes, this is the definitive guide to the nations most distinctive interiors a book that belongs on every design lovers shelf.
