## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not as good as the other R Byam Shaw books
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2017*

I was rather disappointed by this.  There is already "Perfect English" and "Perfect English Cottage" by the same author (both of which I enjoyed) but I think the theme is now rather exhausted - which makes one cynical about the commercial reasoning behind this one.  Many of the farmhouses featured were second homes and almost none were actually farms.  Which is a shame because the interiors lacked some of the more attractive clutter and practicality of real farmhouses in my view. In addition one of the houses I had seen featured before because the owners have published their own book " The New Homesteader" so I felt that was a bit of a swizz.  My other gripe is that the text focuses on the people and how they come to have the house rather than the actual design of the interiors.  That felt like a cop out, it seemed as though a lot of pictures of people's houses and some text on the people had been thrown together which is more what you would expect from a magazine than a proper book.  In one place mention was made of how the clever owner had put lots of storage cupboards into a period interior in so invisibly that guests could not find it - but there were no photographs of this clever storage, much to my frustration!  So I would not personally recommend this book.

    Perfect!
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2008*

This is a lovely book. But it is more than just a 'lovely book', delightful though it is to look at and handle. Nor is it just a parade of 'aspirational' interiors beyond the pockets of most of us - though there are some pretty sensational houses here. It's more a celebration of English individuality - that you can do what you like with your own space - mad colour and piles of stuff if that's your bag; or restrained colour and pared down decor if that's what you want. To guide you, there's a gentle categorisation of the different types of English house and a neat summary of the essential elements of each. But there's nothing prescriptive here - and uniformity is told to take a running jump. The message, really, is have faith in what you love and surround yourself with that. All these interiors are totally at ease with themselves - not concerned with keeping up with anybody, or 'making a statement' - except to say: 'Welcome and enjoy'. Congratulations to Ros Byam Shaw for reminding us that in making a home, as in living our lives: 'To thine own self be true'.

    are English homes really this boring?
  

*by S***X on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2021*

If this book is correct Brits are living with desperately sludgy colours and a load of low-merit old furniture worthy only of ancient hermits. I flicked through it and found it depressing just to look at - I knew I would never want to read it so I sent it back.  If bookstores were still open it would have sat on a remainders pile for ever.
