Beyond and behind the life of the streets lie the private spaces – interiors and rooms where the tastes and aspirations of individuals are reflected in the design and arrangement of objects set among different colours, textures, materials and finishes. Cross-cultural comparisons and connections are made throughout this wonderful book, giving a truly international view of the city experience, and creating a compilation of inspirational ideas for stylish urban living. City Homes looks at city dwelling throughout the world. City Spaces focuses on the details of city living: the places we devote to cooking, eating and sleeping. City Surfaces is a study of interior decoration: colour, texture and materials. City Detail demonstrates how even restricted spaces can be made inviting: arrangements of art and objects; «cabinets of curiosities»; storage space; external decoration. City Life is an amazing photo essay of cityscapes around the world: buildings, street life, communities.

This visually thrilling book showcases the telling use of colour, not only in interior design but also in natural and urban environments in a host of places and cultures. In monochromes, white, black and neutral shades of grey are used for their own qualities or as backgrounds for splashes of colour. In the blues, colours are used to create a particular ‘feel’, and, combined with white, express a whole culture – that of the Mediterranean. Reds and pinks appear as the colours of luxury and fine living. Yellows and greens bring light into the interior. The feast is completed by a section on colours derived from natural materials.

From the groves and vineyards of Provence to the dry hills of California, the farms of Australia and the forests of Canada, Gilles de Chabaneix's stunning photographs capture the distinctive rural architecture, homely decorative schemes, awe-inspiring landscapes and rustic details that make country living universally desirable. In this comprehensive exploration of the pleasures of country living, traditional and contemporary elements are treated with the same sympathetic eye: an airy, minimalist sitting room looks out on an ancient piazza; bunches of herbs and antique tools hang from rough-hewn beams beside a roaring fire; a stone floor, worn smooth with age, shines through the sleek glass top of a modern dining table, where a bowl of fruit from the local market awaits a guest. More than a comprehensive sourcebook of decorative ideas, for anyone who dreams of living in the country or is lucky enough to live there already this is the ultimate guide to timeless rural living: beautiful, regional and quirkily individual.
