Celebrating four decades of The World of Interiors, the magazine's team recently published an anthology of written depictions of interiors as a extra inside their usual offering. 40 pen-portraits of rooms, buildings and decor, spanning from 21st century novels to 18th century letters, are illustrated by words and language to paint a picture. It is as much about what is described as it is about what is left out, but most of all, the literature extracts further emphasise the impact a single room can have on our entire being.
So moving that this compilation was, we have decided to share a few of our favourite descriptions with you, alongside imagery of some of our most swooned-after homes and dwellings. Enjoy!...
