A trailblazing British interiors practice that has become THE name in authentic period design.

The House Rules charts the evolution of Patrick Williams' design studio Berdoulat, and is a stunning visual exploration of his practice and meticulous approach to working with period buildings. From a 14th-century court house, to a Regency manor, through to a newly built extension to an Arts & Crafts home, Patrick Williams showcases sensitive period restorations that combine artisan techniques and heritage aesthetics with modern, sustainable sensibilities to create timeless historic interiors.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The photography alone is worth the price—each room feels like a masterclass in layering period details without making it feel like a museum. I’ve already dog-eared half the pages for inspiration on our own renovation.

Madison ★★★★★

Flipping through this felt like getting a private tour of a beautifully restored home. The way they break down the evolution of the studio’s design approach makes it easy to follow, and the visual layout is just stunning. I’ve already dog-eared half the pages for inspiration on my own renovation.

Henry ★★★★★

The case studies on period detail are so thorough, I found myself bookmarking pages for our own renovation. It’s rare to find a design book that balances history with actual practical inspiration this well.
