Overview
Living with Flowers is Jane Packer's most personal book to date -- the first to focus on flowers in the context of interior design and on the art of combining colours, textures and shapes to create a whole look or atmosphere.For this book Jane has created sixty-five informal yet distinctive arrangements for a whole range of interiors and lifestyles. Each of the four chapters is defined by a style and mood, captured by the stunning photography of Vogue's Simon Brown: clashing colours, or elegant neutrals in City mean flowers with attitude for chic, metropolitan interiors; in Country the arrangements have a soft, natural look for relaxed, simple lifestyles; for utter simplicity and serenity turn to Sea, awash with pale blues, greys and creams; and for stylish outdoor living dip into Garden's eclectic mix of ideas and arrangements.
Whatever style you are after, you will find sensational ideas for everyday as well as more special occasions, from weddings and Hallowe'en suppers to dining al fresco. Practical advice, including 15 step-by-step projects, ensures that these are all accessible to the complete beginner, while Jane's flair for design and styling will inspire even the most accomplished.
