// Product Description

Rachel Ashwell is the creator of Shabby Chic, a peaceful, practical way of living that embraces a respect for the things in our lives we hold dear and keeps them at the heart of our homes.

Romantic florals recline against pure white linen, ruffles of muslin skirting a bed base add a touch of luxury against limed floorboards, a simple nest of fluffy towels gives a feeling of deep comfort – this is Rachel Ashwell's signature style that for the past 20 years has been a major influence in our modern lives.

With rooms combining flea-market finds and objects of pure functionality – an elegant French mirror reflecting a painting, a bejewelled metallic candle holder sitting by a cluster of willow-patterned china, a single faded velvet pillow basking under the twinkle of a vintage chandelier – this book celebrates all that is wonderfully shabby chic.
