A stunning photographic exploration of cottage-style buildings, from RIBA award-winning designs in Wales and traditional worker's cottages in Dorset to Japanese woodland escapes and vibrant homes in New Orleans. 
 
Opening with an engaging examination of the enduring appeal of the cottage – considering such things as what defines a cottage? What are the challenges of living in one? And what 
makes cottages so uniquely beguiling? Divided into chapter by style of cottage, including historic, urban, cottage industries, contemporary and creative, each one will open with a main feature showcasing an exemplary cottage owned by a notable creative, designer or maker. 
The beautiful images will unlock their different aesthetics and explore the lifestyles that flourish within. 
 
With enlightening interviews around thatching and cottage gardens, Life Inside a Cottage gives a wonderfully well-rounded view of what life looks like in these treasured spaces.

Life Inside A Cottage

Interior inspiration from today's cottage dwellers

Clare Foggett

Originally the small plots where rural British workers grew the vegetables, herbs and flowers they needed, cottage gardens were romanticised and reimagined by nostalgic Victorian gardeners into a bucolic idyll. 
 
The style has endured ever since: drifts of colourful perennials mingle with fragrant roses, boisterous self-seeders teeter on the brink of chaos, fruit and vegetables scramble through rustic supports. Small in scale, wildlife friendly, natural and organic, 'old-fashioned' cottage gardens are perfectly in tune with gardening in the modern day. 
 
Featuring some of the most beautiful examples of cottage gardens in the UK today, these incredible spaces will transport you into a distinctly British world of peonies, foxgloves, roses and dahlias, with interviews with the designers and head gardeners featured to provide plenty of inspiration for bringing your own cottage garden to life.

Stephen Crafti

An architect generally works to a client’s brief when designing a new home or renovating an existing dwelling. However, the opportunity for an architect or a designer to create their own home, without the constraints of a client, must certainly be at the top of their wish list. 
 
Featuring twenty architects from around the world, The Architect's House will truly inspire those contemplating building a new home or renovating an older style of residence to take on the adventurous spirit. At a time when people are being cautious, both in terms of finances and ideas, they will find inspiration to go beyond the prosaic or not simply to chase the idea of a home with only resale value in mind. 
 
The properties featured here are diverse – from apartments through to large detached homes surrounded by hectares of native forest. However, what ‘stitches’ them together is the architects’ determination to create homes that perfectly suit the way they choose to live, both in the present and in the future. And because the projects don’t follow trends but beautifully capture the ‘voice’ of the owners, they remain timeless.

Penny Wincer

As an interiors photographer, Penny Wincer found that walking through a stranger&rsquo;s home, listening to them explaining the history of the space, and the meaning of precious objects, was one of most joyful aspects of her work. And in Home Matters Penny does exactly that, taking us through the houses of 13 artists, designers and writers, inspiring us to reflect on how we want our own homes to feel. 
 
 Through beautiful photographs, interviews and Penny&rsquo;s own reflections on the homes that she has lived in over the years, Home Matters brings together multiple perspectives, all centred on how we create homes to meet our needs. Looking at an eclectic range of spaces that are not often included in these conversations, each chapter of Home Matters considers a different aspect of what goes into creating a home, inviting the reader to reflect on their own memories, needs and constraints. 
 
 This book is for those who want to think deeply about their homes, as well as be inspired by the beauty and joy that others have created within their own spaces. Through asking us to consider our pasts, our current needs and to examine the values we want our homes to reflect, Home Matters shows what is possible when we look within ourselves to turn a house into a home. And when we let go of the idea of the perfect home &ndash; one that can never be achieved &ndash; we can embrace the home that works for our lives as they are.
