If you think of the English countryside, two artists come to mind who, between them, painted some of the most famous English landscape scenes ever put on canvas. It is probably no coincidence that both of them—Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable—came from the same county of Suffolk in the east of England and both were entranced by its rural beauty.

SOMETIMES THE BEST PLACES to find inspiring interiors is on the websites of the photographers hired to shoot them. Such is the case with this space shot by Swedish photographer Jesper Florbrant. While am not particularly fond of the rest of the space, this living room, with its pale, pale pink walls, crown mouldings, parquet flooring, deep wall panels and glittering chandelier, is truly inspirational, especially since we're currently in search of the perfect shade of PINK for the master bedroom ...
