Cosy and kitsch, Perfect English Cottage by Ros Byam Shaw is filled with photographs of idyllic and inspirational cottages located across England.

Covering every room of the house, the book looks at the use of colour, quirky or classic decoration and interesting storage solutions. Each home gives an insight in to the lives and tastes of the individual owners and provides tips and ideas that you can interpret into your own home.

If you're hoping to decorate your own cottage or create some country chic in a city home, this wonderful collection will give you the motivation and inspiration for creating your own perfect English cottage.
