Pure Style Home & Garden

Jane Cumberbatch's unique approach to decoration is based on the timeless appeal of all things simple and natural. Pure Style pioneered the trend for uncluttered interiors. With its advocacy of clean outlines, crisp fabrics and natural materials, it reaches beyond the bounds of interior decoration, offering a new way of living that is resourceful and economical. With photographs by Henry Bourne, the book shows which colours, fabrics, textures, items of furniture, decorative objects and lighting are appropriate to the style - and goes on to demonstrate how to bring them together to create your own interpretation of the look.
