How do you design your life? New Rural: Where to Find It and How to Create It is an interiors book for a new way of living that combines the space and freedom of rural existence with the connections and opportunities of the modern world. This stunning photo-filled hardback is a guide for those dreaming of moving to the country; inspiration for anyone who craves touches of rural magic and cottagecore in their home - wherever that may be; and a window to the distinctive allure of Australia' s vibrant regional towns. Authored and photographed by interior designer Ingrid Weir, this creative book is much more than a manual or a compilation of pretty interiors. New Rural profiles towns that embody the earthiness and romance of authentic and original rural living (the Hawkesbury Highlands, the Sapphire Coast, Coober Pedy, Kyneton and Satellite Island to name a few), offers guidance on how to find and create it yourself, and detours to subjects such as bringing the outside in, having friends to stay, mixing the old with the new, the importance of texture, and why food eaten outside tastes better. This is a book about place and space, meaning and connection. It exists at a unique intersection, bringing together Ingrid' s expertise from film and television, interior design and her personal project renovating the old schoolmaster' s house in the gold-rush town of Hill End, New South Wales. Get lost between these pages and wander through new ways of living.
"Ingrid Weir' s gorgeous Australian imagery shoots straight into your heart. " -Laura Brown, InStyle magazine editor in chief "New Rural inspires the best kind of wanderlust, the kind where your soul finds something it didn' t know it was looking for. " - Emily Katz, artist, author, founder @modernmacrame
