Simply Scandinavian: Calm, Comfortable and Uncluttered Homes

Description

Simply Scandinavian is an inspirational survey of 20 homes ranging from tiny cabins to elegant apartments in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. Scandinavian interior design is admired the world over for its simplicity and understated elegance. Rooms are typically airy, light and bright. Furnishings are modern classics from the key names of Scandinavian design mixed with pretty antique and vintage pieces. The beauty of natural materials, especially wood, is celebrated. It's a style that's entirely in tune with our current desire for calm, comfortable and uncluttered spaces to live in. The 20 homes featured in this book are presented as case studies, with chapters including Elegant Simplicity, Vintage-Inspired, Pared-down Modern and Contemporary Rustic. Each home showcases an aspect of Scandinavian interior design and the homeowners include architects, fashion and jewellery designers and antique dealers. Celebrating a way of life that combines elegance and comfort with a love of the natural world, Simply Scandinavian offers an abundance of decorative ideas that will work in any setting.
