In Modern English, 18 private house projects, divided into 3 sections – Country, Town and Abroad – showcase our varied catalogue of work. The pivotal factors and challenges encountered on each design journey are revealed in text by respected interiors author and journalist Helen Chislett.

“A particularly special offering… we Yanks think we know the English look…Emily Todhunter and Kate Earle bring us up to date… they bring deep English-y undercurrents to their work – restraint that summons Jane Austen; curtained window seats straight out of Jane Eyre – but their backgrounds in philosophy, psychology and art push them to take a fresh approach to proportions, flow, the ‘feel’ of a room. Every page holds inspiration.”
— Airmail
“With an emphasis on eclecticism, British duo Emily Todhunter and Kate Earle effortlessly inject wit, comfort and joy into homes both historic and contemporary… Anyone seeking to bottle the essence of 21st-century English decoration and design will find it in (their) portfolio.”
