Sally Hayden, best-selling author of Coastal Style, visits 12 beautiful homes across the globe that celebrate the timeless allure of living by the water. There is something special about being close to wide expanses of sea and sky, living with open doors, broad horizons and soft colors—all these things instantly bring a sense of calm and escape.

This book is packed with evocative images of beautiful places and spaces that will inspire you to leave real life behind and enjoy rest and relaxation close to nature. The first section, Inspiration, focuses on the key elements of easy waterside style, including colour palettes, fabrics, furniture, accessories, and display.
