Discover classic and contemporary Scandinavian style with specially
commissioned photography of homes in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and
Finland. Scandinavia is famous for its distinctive style: homes are
pared-back and simple, and form and function are combined to create
aesthetically pleasing and practical interiors. Scandinavians are
inspired by light, having an abundance of it in summer but so
little of it in winter, and house designs tend to maximize the
amount of natural light that enters the home, and allow the
inhabitants to make the most of outdoor life during the summer.
Similarly, nature and the weather are major influences: homes are
made warm and cosy for the freezing winter months - not just
literally with log burners, but also through incorporating wood and
natural materials. Here Niki Brantmark, owner of the interior
design blog My Scandinavian Home, presents a wide-ranging
collection of these beautiful homes and explores how the
Scandinavian lifestyle is reflected in them all. The first chapter,
Urban Living, features styles ranging from minimalist to bohemian,
and pale palettes to dramatic dark colours. By contrast, the
Country Homes tend to have a softer, calmer feel, through colour
and textiles, in line with a slower pace of life. Finally, the
spectacular Rural Retreats include a mountain cabin, beach house
and rustic summer cottage, and demonstrate how having somewhere to
escape to is so important to many Scandinavians. This collection of
stunning interiors will put Scandi style within every reader's
reach.
