English Decoration by Ben Pentreath

Ben Pentreath’s English Decoration: Timeless Inspiration for the Contemporary Home.

Renowned architectural and interior designer Ben Pentreath presents a survey of the best of the English style. He studies eighteen homes, many of which have never been previously photographed, which provide the source material for his wide-ranging investigation of the classic English look. The houses include Ben’s homes in London and West Dorset alongside those of Earls and artists, writers and architects, book designers and gardeners. The book is arranged room by room and Entrance Halls, Living Rooms, Kitchens and Dining Rooms, Bedrooms and Bathrooms are each considered in turn, together with simple Rooms of Utility and spectacular Rooms of Display.
