Romantic covers a range of homes that are particularly pretty or feminine in character, including a converted barn in the Cotswolds and a hilltop village house in Provence. Simply Tranquil takes a look at more pared-down rural architecture, where whites and neutrals dominate the colour palette; it includes an English country cottage and a classic Scandinavian interior recreated in Connecticut. From North Carolina to the Swiss Alps, the homes featured here are exciting to explore and of lasting interest. Whether traditionally elegant or unusual and experimental, they all belong to the heart of the rural landscape and capture the magical allure of country living.
