Frida Ramstedt

'Furnish for how you would like to live, not for what you want people to think.' 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. Rather than relying on high ceilings and architectural features, she had to make full use of essential principles to transform a blank canvas into a cosy, attractive and harmonious home. In doing so, she distilled the secrets of successful interior design and styling. This is a book about what looks good and why, filled with practical tips and illustrations to help you work out what's best for your space and lifestyle - and to discover what your individual tastes really are. With advice on everything from how to hang curtains to how to apply the golden ratio, The Interior Design Handbook is an indispensable guide for every home.

Furnish, Decorate, and Style Your Space

This gave me a lot of things to think about, though I sometimes wish it could have gone into a few more specifics. I’ll be returning to chapters of this one for sure.

Me mudo a una casa que hay que renovar bastante y no sé enfocar un problema sin estudiar antes, así que empecé por este libro porque no sabía mucho de diseño de interiores. Eso sí, tenía ya conocimientos de diseño (en general) porque soy maquetadora, y hay ciertos puntos del libro que me han parecido muy básicos. Aun así, creo que me ha servido un montón para al menos ordenar mis ideas sobre lo que quiero hacer con la casa y cómo organizarme. Me parece un buen punto de partida.
