Everyone has a different opinion about the way the ideal family home should look.
The different reports in this book reflect this variety of opinions: they range from historic country houses to recently built, distinctive homes for young families with lots of children.

The same theme keeps emerging from these very different backgrounds: the sense of conviviality, the warm welcome, the informal, timeless character that each of these family homes exudes.

These are houses that are not just there to be looked at – first and foremost, they are places where people really live: ideal environments for parents, children and guests.
In these havens, architecture and interior are never purely aesthetic, but always have a functional role, helping to make life more enjoyable for the people who live there.

Family Houses presents a compilation of examples of the emerging residential architecture, which are linked by the manner in which they propose innovative and experimental solutions. Refinement in the selection of finishes, restraint in the distribution of rooms, and pains taken in integrating these spaces into their surroundings represent just some of the skills exercised by their designers. Although each of the houses featured in this selection heads in a unique direction, stylistically speaking, they all surprise us technically and with the repertoire of sensations they provoke. In all of these houses, the architects have paid special attention to the dynamics that arise when different family members live together, and they have thus oriented their efforts towards finding a balance between designing for design's sake and making houses that are liveable.

Family Houses in the Country takes us to real homes imbued with the spirit of the families who delight in living in them.

Author Alexandra d’Arnoux and photographer Gilles de Chabaneix travel through the United States, England, Scotland, Italy and France to find remarkable houses with beautiful, comfortable interiors where decorative detail combines with family tradition to create a memorable and timeless atmosphere.

We visit a family homestead in California’s Napa Valley, a place of eternal summer. We experience the isolated but welcoming manor of Kerdaoualas on a hill in Brittany, and find that an intriguing home in the heart of Shropshire once housed a medieval abbey.

Far more than just an interiors book, FamilyLifeStyle Home is a bible for living with children in domestic environments that are as effortlessly stylish as they are educational, as comfortable with the hurly burly of family life during the day as they are elegant for evening entertainment.

The first in a new series that celebrates how parents can live, entertain and travel in style just as much with children as before having children, FamilyLifeStyle Home is fresh, fun and friendly.

• Breathes real life into interiors and lifestyle for a new generation of parents and their children
• Modern home-owners want the best of both worlds: stylish contemporary living alongside the rich and unpredictable mêlée of family life
• Explores the different areas of the house and how they can be made flexible to allow a range of fulfilling activities when children are and aren’t around

Iconic brand Farrow & Ball began in the 1940s as a small firm of craftsmen paint-makers, specializing in paints made in the traditional way with traditional ingredients. Despite its global success, Farrow & Ball has stayed true to these origins. It is the quality of its eco-friendly paints, with their exceptional depth and subtlety of colour, that has made the company famous. They look as good on the walls of a contemporary bathroom or slick Soho flat as they do in a period ballroom and are as perfect for a cottage as in a castle.

Divided into chapters according to style, including Classical, City, Modern Country, Country House and Cottage, the first part of the book shows Farrow & Ball paints and wallpapers used in a wide range of interiors. All the homes are British and share a sense of style, and an appreciation of the visual and emotional power of paint and colour. Part Two is devoted to colour. From the themes of All White and In Neutral to Softly, Softly, Dark and Handsome and Bright and Beautiful, each chapter explores a particular palette and shows how colour can be used to create atmosphere, character and charm.

She begins with the 10 Golden Rules (from arriving early and knowing how to work the stalls to training your eye to spot treasures amongst the rubbish).

About the author

Geraldine James started her career in fashion as a contemporary designer buyer, and from fashion she moved to home and gift. Geraldine soon developed a passion for collecting and finding the most unusual and beautiful things. She now works as a home buying manager at Selfridges and, as part of her role, spends time travelling extensively to find exciting new products for the store. The author is based in Putney, London.

Flea Market Style gives you all the information and advice you need to furnish and decorate your home with found objects rather than new items bought in shops. Emily Chalmers and Ali Hanan explain how to find fresh and unexpected uses for second-hand pieces and antiques, and reveal how to mix old and new with flair and panache. The first part of the book, Flea Market Finds, looks at household goods, from fabrics and furniture to ceramics, kitchenware, glass and lighting, and describes how to find special objects and identify them on the basis of their quality, character, resilience, colour and texture.

The authors advocate a subtle mixing of styles, patterns and colours, and emphasize the beauty of objects that have seen a bit of life. They explain how to locate bargain copies of modern classics or the real things and how to mix flea-market, salvage-yard or junk-shop finds with high-street basics. The second part of the book, Putting It All Together, shows how to incorporate the style in every room from the spaces where you cook, eat, sleep or relax to bathing spaces and work spaces. The book ends with an extensive directory of suppliers.
