Regency Style

A sumptuous survey of the Regency house, and a stimulating guide for all those with an interest in this most popular of styles; whether as the owner of a period house, or as someone with a professional interest in renovation and decoration, this book is an indispensable tool as well as a beautiful possession. During the Regency period (c.1780-1840), colors were more exotic and vibrant than they had been for centuries, and, for the first time, informality and comfort were the key considerations in the design & decoration of an interior. The book examines the Regency house from the outside in, from the architectural shell to the decorations, color schemes & furniture for every room in the house. Illus
