The Relaxed Home: Elegant Interiors for Casual Living

Imagine a home that is organized yet relaxed, functional yet comfortable, unfussy but also beautiful. This is the essence of Beautifully Casual Home.

There’s a universal appeal to a home where we can kick back and chill out, an interior where the emphasis is on cozy, casual comfort, yet with all the essentials at hand. In the first section of this book, Casual Style, interiors expert Judith Wilson maps out the two facets of the look--Country Casual and City Casual--so you can identify the style that suits you best. Next, Casual Elements focuses on the different ingredients that come together to create the perfect home. In part three, Casual Rooms, Judith shows how the style translates to every room in the house, from Relaxed Kitchens to Soothing Bathrooms and Cozy Sitting Rooms to Tranquil Bedrooms, taking in Children’s Spaces along the way.Beautifully Casual Home will inspire you to create a practical, welcoming, and comfortable home that you’ll enjoy and appreciate every day.
