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 cozy 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 colors. By contrast, the Country Homes tend to have a softer, calmer feel, through color 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.

Great book. Ok shipping.
The book is great! However I think this will be the last coffee table book Iâll buy from amazon. It is put in a box without any protection so it slides around in shipment and the corners are damaged when you get it. Itâs has happened a few times now and would rather pay a bit more and get a book in good condition elsewhere. Regular books itâs fine but kills the vibe of having a coffee table book!

Didnât care for it.
I always feel bad when I leave a less than stellar review- but, I had such high hopes for this book and am very disappointed. Iâm half Scandinavia and love decorating with a mix of American and Scandinavian- with shades of whites and tans. In the past I purchased the books Simply Scandinavian and Living With Light- and like them so much better. This book is filled with modern, eclectic interiors that are full of a hodge podge of furnishings and decor. I saw very little by way of Scandinavian themed decor. And some of the rooms give whole new meaning to âminimalist.â I found most of them to be cold and unwelcoming- almost depressing. Returning is such a pain so Iâll keep this book by wonât crack it open again Iâm sure.

Das Buch gefällt mir sehr, es ist genau das, wonach ich schon lange gesucht habe. Häuser und Wohnungen im typischen Stilmix aus skandinavischen Möbelklassikern, etwas Shabby-Chic, Boho und dann noch dieses wunderbare Licht…ein traumhaftes Buch!
