A style and design manual for every home

How to create a functional and pleasant home?

Today, we know more about interior design than ever before. More precisely: We know a lot about decor, furniture and trends, but we get lost in basic design principles. While we spend more and more money on renovations and accessories, surprisingly few of us are happy with our homes and feel that this is how they want their home to look.

Based on her own experience, interior designer Frida Ramstedt has written The Style and Design Manual for Every Home, a practical guide for anyone who wants to live beautifully and distinctively. The book summarizes the know-how of designers, the time-tested rules of professionals for interior design, as well as specific laws, tricks and tips that will help you avoid unnecessary mistakes, but also uniformity when imitating catalogues or other people's apartments.

Instructional plans and easy-to-understand illustrations explain, among other things:

• basic design rules such as symmetry, lines or scale,

• how to apply design mathematics, for example the famous „ golden cut“,

• how to create an overall impression and what could distract from it,

• all the essentials about colours in furnishing,

• how to think about the dimensions and proportions of a space,

• the importance and function of lighting,

• tricks and tips for hanging pictures,

• how to create pleasant still lifes and what decorative items to buy

• how to work with the acoustics to make them work for us,

• how to arrange furniture and carpets,

• how to renovate your kitchen and bathroom without a major remodel.

The Manual of Style and Design for Every Home is a book for anyone who wants to understand the laws of good living and learn how to create a beautiful and cosy home.
