Overview:
Discover two complementary treasures for home lovers and DIY enthusiasts. A Place In Scotland: Beautiful Scottish Interiors takes you on a design-rich tour across Scotland, where Banjo Beale and photographer Alex Baxter spotlight a rejuvenated, story-led vernacular. You’ll see thirty spaces—from a masterfully restored Scottish castle and the Gleneagles hotel to a World War II control tower in the Highlands and a vividly coloured Glasgow tenement—each chosen for its sense of place, sustainability, and timeless appeal. Paired with The Annie Sloan Collection, this set becomes a complete creative toolkit: a practical, inspiration-rich guide to decorating with paint across walls, furniture, floors, fabrics and lighting. Annie Sloan’s book unfolds 75 step-by-step projects, teaching essential techniques like stencilling, waxing, gilding and dyeing, all while demystifying colour palettes and the use of Chalk Paint®. Together, these two titles empower readers to dream, plan and execute distinctive interiors with confidence. A premium, gift-ready collection for design lovers, home improvers and BookTok fans alike.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This is more than a design duo—it's a cohesive journey from concept to execution. A Place In Scotland offers a narrative tour of places that define modern Scottish design, inviting readers to observe how light, texture and history fuse to create rooms with character. The Annie Sloan Collection then hands you the practical skills to translate that vision into your own space using paint as the main creative medium. The pairing suits both aspirational readers who crave aspirational spaces and hands-on crafters who want proven methods to refresh furniture, walls and decorative details. With a focus on sustainable design, thoughtful sourcing, and palettes that work in real rooms, the set speaks directly to homes, flats, studios and holiday cottages across the UK. It’s the ideal binge-read for planners, renovators and collectors who love to see ideas come alive.
Books Included in This Collection:
A Place In Scotland
A Place In Scotland invites readers to follow Banjo Beale’s guided tour of Scotland’s evolving interiors. From grandeur to everyday living, the book curates spaces that tell a story—places where craftsmanship, colour and texture harmonise to create rooms that feel lived-in and loved. The accompanying photography by Alex Baxter brings the nation’s architecture and design heritage to vivid life, while the selection underscores sustainable, craft-forward design. This is design storytelling at its best, offering both inspiration and practical cues for recreating similar looks at home, whether you’re a homeowner, designer, or curious reader.
