Susanna Salk’s At Home In The English Countryside: Designers and Their Dogs travels across the pond so readers can see how notable designers incorporate their four-legged friends into their homes. Salk’s latest book offers inspiration on how to live a stylish life with pups—be it pedigreed canines or rescue dogs.
Follow Salk as she journeys through the British countryside to see how designers like Veere Greeney and Carlos Sánchez-García have created luxurious, yet comfortable spaces for both themselves and their furry friends. The constant theme throughout the book? The devotion and love for these animals. These canines are treated like family members—they have free reign of the house and no expense spared on their behalf. Says Salk: “Life is too short to worry about what could go wrong. Love and discipline in equal measure (and a good mud room) are the most important elements!”
