Published by Gestalten, Country and Cozy: Countryside Homes and Rural Retreats invites you to enjoy a rustic countryside feel and homely interior design around the world. The full-size photographs and vivid stories tell about living far from the hustle and bustle of cities, while providing inspiring new ideas for those who only dream about rural life as well as those who already live it.

Quiet and quaint, the countryside comes with its own pace of living–and depending on where you are, its own regional flair. Turning away from traffic-choked streets and onto meandering country paths, urban residents are increasingly choosing to take up residence in greener pastures. Country and Cozy opens doors and pulls back the floral curtains to reveal a more characterful interior design and decoration approach.

Whether it’s a converted outhouse in the south of France, a Latin American Finca, or a whimsical English cottage complete with a thatched roof, Country and Cozy showcases a series of beautiful country homes and illustrates how their inhabitants have created breathtaking living spaces that make the most out of rural life.
