I consigli spaziano non solo sulle disposizioni, ma anche sui colori da accostare o addirittura su come disporre tessuti o cuscini in un ambiente per suscitare una sensazione piuttosto che un'altra. Frida Ramstedt and her interior design blog, Tendenser, has been a favourite read of mine for years, so when I heard she was writing her first book, ‘The Interior Design Handbook’, I couldn’t wait for it to be published here in the UK. Hi, I’m Nicola, an experienced freelance writer and longstanding content and communications consultant with a passion for the Nordic way of life.Fusing classical imagery with a peppy colour palette and prep sensibilities, Luke Edward Hall has taken the design world by storm, collaborating with brands from Habitat to Liberty and Stubbs and Wootton. Filled with Hall’s signature line drawings, travel writings, snippets of literature and colourful interiors inspiration aplenty, it offers a glimpse into the imagination of one of the most exciting designers working today. For quite a few of the concepts discussed, certain approaches intuitively feel better aesthetically but it’s nice to have a more rational and concrete explanation to why that might be the case. It gives a better understanding of why one might have a certain gut reaction to one room vs another. In seguito, vengono trattati un sacco di argomenti: il colore, la luce, la disposizione dei mobili, dei quadri, persino dei cuscini sul divano. Sono presenti anche sezioni specifiche per ogni stanza della casa.

Ever spent hours wandering around the Conran Shop, mentally furnishing your imaginary dream home? While not quite the same experience, this newly-released book contains over 400 illustrations and archival imagery that map the career of Sir Terence Conran, who, in founding Habitat and the Conran Shop, permanently changed the landscape of British design. Its signature bright Conran blue cover is bound to add a stylish touch to any living room. Thank you so much to Frida for chatting with me, I’ve loved reading The Interior Design Handbook and finding out more about one of my favourite interior bloggers. The move from her character-filled apartment to a sterile white box new build gave her the inspiration to put together this complete interiors bible to help novices to create a cosy, attractive and harmonious home that doesn’t rely on architectural features.Basically a textbook on interior design for the absolute beginner. It delivers clear guidance on a lot of the questions that friends and I had on furnishing our first post b-school apartments. Things like, how big should the rug be relative to the table? To the room? How many inches of space should there be between the dining room table and the wall for people to move around? Etc. I remember googling those types of things a lot and it would have been nice to have them in a book. Now, having done it for more than 15 years I don’t think anyone doubts me when I say that I love what I do, or, that you can make a living of your passion.

The Interior Design Handbook by Frida Ramstedt | Waterstones

As an influencer you have to accept the fact that you work in a constantly changing industry. There is no risk of getting bored, but you can never really rest. You are never better than your latest post, which can be challenging at times, but overall, suits my curious mind perfectly. Bold use of colour, a high-low sensibility and a certain cosy glamour are hallmarks of interior designer Miles Redd’s brand. Collecting a range of homes infused with fantasy and playful sophistication – including the designer’s own spectacular townhouse – The Big Book of Chic distills, in one glossy volume, the pleasures of living life beautifully. It has a whole chapter about curtains and it’s so boring it made me feel like I was torturing myself.

Success!

The Interior Design Handbook by Frida Ramstedt is one of the most useful interior design books I have ever had the pleasure to read. Full of practical and useful advice, this book is designed to help you create a home that not only looks good but feels good too. This is a lovely-looking book, and I liked the idea of having some hard and fast rules about interior design rather than glossy magazines showing off items. I was so thrilled to get this as I'm moving house soon from years of rentals into one I own so can fully decorate. Allow yourself a break from the sleek, scrubbed surfaces of Scandi minimalism by delving into this colourful interiors book, a look into the world of Brazilian architect and designer Sig Bergamin. A lover of travel, his rooms are a delightfully harmonious blend of classic French and Italian furniture, mid-century design and eclectic treasures collected from around the world. So, fifteen years ago while I was studying marketing, I came up with the idea of starting a blog which would allow me to combine my academic work with my love for interior design. I even went on to write my thesis about IKEA’s advertising strategies.
