Book Description

A style book, a wish book, and a practical how-to guide to creating handsome and functional interiors, Naturally Modern offers a fresh approach to decorating with natural materials, including wood, leather, stone, and textiles like cotton, linen, and wool.

In a world dominated by technology, nature's raw materials are back in fashion0and with them a taste for interiors that minimize clutter and accentuate sensual appeal. Design writer Ros Byam Shaw offers a wealth of useful and inspirational decorating ideas to help the reader bring the colors and textures of nature into the home. As illustrated in some 250 photographs of contemporary American, European, and Asian rooms, natural materials bring a warmth and intimacy to both country and city dwellings-and a look that will wear beyond the vagaries of fashion.

With its emphasis on simplicity, durability, and comfort, this is an interior design manual perfectly suited to today's lifestyles.

ROS BYAM SHAW is a former features editor of World of Interiors. She is now a freelance journalist and writes on design and interiors for Country Life, House & Garden, and various other publications. She lives in London.

ANDREW WOOD specializes in interior and fashion photography.
