The Bible of British Taste is a new magazine founded by art and design writer Ruth Guilding that is focused on the interiors, gardens, art, artists and culture of these isles.
Tastes veer the toward the eccentric, charming, time-worn, and even cluttered environments that are a world away from the perfect homes that pad out out similar but more mainstream taste-making publications. Content is a mix of the the grand, historical and slightly folky – broadly a mash-up between the likes of Cabana and Apartamento but distinctly and avowedly a British take, a good and very on-trend way.
