Description: Ever since a physical distinction could be made between rural and urban, the word 'country' has represented a set of values and way of thinking - an escape both literally and metaphysically from the cares and concerns of the 'city'. Dinah Hall's innovative exploration of the influence of contemporary style on the country look shows us that we can use all the benefits of modern technology and design to create a home that focuses on the needs of the individual for space, peace and simple beauty. A visual inspiration, the book features photographs from the best locations throughout the world and is packed with ideas for creating a modern home with a country feel.
