The Interior Design Handbook

Product Information

While I have MANY Instagram and Pinterest boards for interior design, I really appreciated the rules of thumb outlined in this book. In the process, it will consider the design of interiors where the concept of interior is re-posed and in so doing, pose the question of what a history and theory of interior design could be and what kind of platform for practice might be produced. 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. In seguito, vengono trattati un sacco di argomenti: il colore, la luce, la disposizione dei mobili, dei quadri, persino dei cuscini sul divano. In this book she distils the secrets of successful interior design and styling to help you create a home that works best for your space, taste and lifestyle.

What was it, actually, that went into making a design cozy, harmonious, and properly thought through? Chen Yi states, “we believe that interior design and architectural design were indistinguishable since the beginning of the civilization”. Through her years of hard work, of versatility and experience, Frida Ramstedt has connected every thread needed to put together the home of our dreams, in whatever forms our dreams might take. I could have saved myself a lot of time trying to work out how to create a home that looks good, works for our family and feels good, if such a book existed.It is otherwise largely an exercise in stating the obvious – if there is a stain on the floor, cover it with a rug; don’t place furniture where it will obstruct the opening of a door; etc. Ramsted has attempted to distil the gut feeling that many professionals base their work on into actionable and practical advice that everyone can use. When interior designer Frida Ramstedt moved from a characterful old apartment to a functional new build, she started to think about design in a new way. Are there canonical interiors; spaces that have influenced the practice of interior design more than others?

Take this book as a firm welcome to step inside the porches, bathrooms, living rooms (etcetera) of their most glorious projects to date. It was a problem, but it also made me start thinking and looking at design in a new way, both professionally and personally. The much-feted Scandivanian design consultant, Frida Ramstedt will elevate the way you see a room, whether that’s through, industry tricks, practical tips, and her own aesthetic insights. What looks good and what feels good is not always the same, but today we have become so focused on how interiors look, that we have grown blind to if they work.I found this book on Pinterest and started reading it in March, it’s September and I literally couldn’t even stand reading more than 3 pages in a row, very very disappointing. You won’t find any photography in it but it might empower you with organizing principles to filter you references in way that reflects your style. Also love that she has thought carefully about children’s rooms including the place for the parent within that room. There are not, in fact, a great many scientific facts or any absolutely right or wrong ways of going about these things—they are, after all, matters of taste and preference—but there is a good deal of expertise available, as well as accepted practice, that we can follow. I jotted down my thoughts and considerations in a notebook and thus built up a basic outline of the handbook of interior design and styling that I had been unable to find.

This book is all information, a guiding touch to encouraging thought, perspective and personality at every step. We know more today than ever before about design trends, furniture, and knickknacks, and now Frida familiarizes readers with the basic principles behind interior and styling--what looks good and, most of all, why it looks good. You started Trendenser back in 2005, and since then it has become Scandinavia’s leading interior blog.I think those beautifully photographed posh books and magazines provide much better visual inspiration than this book and it is often possible to create similar effects on a more modest budget. It gives a better understanding of why one might have a certain gut reaction to one room vs another. A canon can be defined as a collection of works deemed significant for a particular practice at a point in time; as a repository of those works and as a transmitter of this knowledge through images and words.
