Images of the seaside are the core of "Seaside Style", a celebration of beaches, sea-views and blue skies. Beach huts and houses from around the world and their interiors are featured in this inspiring little guide, offering both ideas for decorators or an escape from the dreary British weather. A series of beautiful photographs take the reader from the rustic Mediterranean to Middle Eastern splendours, to contemporary America, Pacific paradises and South American simplicities. The primary colours of Cape Cod mingle with the jewel-like hues of Tunisia. The brilliant white walls of Greece mix with the organic wooden structures of the Indian Ocean to bring a global feel to this holiday-inducing subject. Beautiful interiors will inspire all who want to fill their homes or a particular room with holiday memories, from the classic blue and white to the warmer hues of terracotta and ochre. Fabulous views, infinity pools and decks will send the reader into a dream world of seascapes: sun, sand, sea, sanctuary and a sense of peace - all in tune with the elements of the coast. For those seeking an escape from hectic lives or those seeing design inspiration, this photo-reportage offers a daydream vision of warmer climes, forgotten holidays and decorating concepts. - Lucy Watson
