Cath Kidston in Print by Cath Kidston

Now firmly established as one of Britain's leading and most loved designers, Cath Kidston's pioneering approach to interior design has earned her international acclaim. Taking her primary inspiration from vintage printed fabrics, her designs evoke a nostalgia that touches anyone who sees it - for childhood, for cosiness, for cheerful, happy, innocent fun. Her trademark prints re-work these classic pieces to give them a fresh, contemporary appeal so that they sit perfectly within a room without overpowering the space. In this book, Cath tells you how to use prints in your home in every way imaginable. Every spread in this fabulous, practical style book will feature a different vintage print with ideas as to how they can be used: a retro sixties spaceman print is used to upholster a trad desk chair, little polka dot cushions update a child's bedroom, and frilly gingham curtains are teamed with a delicate floral pelmet. At the other end of the scale, layers of different prints envelop you in the living room and bedroom with loose covers, cushions, pillows, quilts and wallpaper. Rather than detailed step-by-step instructions, every page is packed with hints and tips to show the reader how to create their own unique look.

"Packed full of ideas it makes an ideal gift for anyone keen on sewing, or eager to peek inside the world of Cath Kidston" Country Living "...utterly gorgeous, full of lush, retro prints and little glimpses of houses you'd give your eye teeth for." The Observer"

Cath Kidston began her career as an interior designer and opened her first shop in London's Notting Hill in 1993, which featured old junk furniture and vintage fabrics. This passion for the past has shaped the Cath Kidston design vision, and the ability to translate this love into prints and modern images has allowed the company to grow while other trends come and go. In addition to her signature florals and spot print fabrics, Cath Kidston has developed a wide range of products in response to a growing demand. Everything from bags, cushions, t-shirts, nightwear and babygrows are all part of her ever-expanding product range. Cath has also published two previous books: Vintage Style and Tips for Vintage Style.
