Like English literature and English manners, the English style of decorating has been copied and admired for generations around the world. It may be found in an elegant town house with Art Deco features, a Victorian terrace house with original William Morris wallpaper or a graphically severe attic studio.

Suzanne Slesin and Stafford Cliff provide a singularly beautiful and evocative look at the English ways of decorating. Presenting more than 600 colour photographs, English Style examines a myriad of styles with chapters on classic English homes; city houses; flats and studios; conversions; country houses; collecting and English style abroad.

Suzanne Slesin is the co-author of French Style. Her articles on design have appeared in major international magazines, including New York, Esquire, and House & Garden.
Stafford Cliff, formerly the Creative Director of the Conran Design Group, is now a design consultant working in London and New York.
Ken Kirkwood’s photographs have appeared in such leading European magazines as World of Interiors, House & Garden and many others.
