Based on the hugely popular blog, magazine, and Instagram account of the same name, The Bible of British Taste explores the true essence of traditional British style. Rejecting the pristine and predictable in favour of the lived-in and characterful, this aesthetic celebrates interiors filled with antiques, artworks, and enthralling layers of history.  

As author Ruth Guilding puts it: 'My personal mantra for the descriptions of people and their houses in this book roughly seems to be that old stuff is good, and perfection is boring.'

Charting the evolution of this distinctive style from William Morris and the Bloomsbury set to today's leading tastemakers, Guilding showcases a vibrant and eclectic mix of homes and gardens across the UK. Featuring renowned creatives - from Roy Strong and Jasper Conran to Luke Edward Hall and Ben Pentreath - The Bible of British Taste provides essential insight into the quirks and charm of British interiors.

With unrivalled access to some of Britain's most extraordinary homes, Bible of British Taste is the definitive guide to the nation's most distinctive interiors - a book that belongs on every design lover's shelf.
