«Je compare souvent la décoration à la musique. Tout le monde n'a pas l'oreille absolue, mais beaucoup jouent en suivant une partition. Il en va de même pour les couleurs, les formes et lestextures. Loin d'être dotés, à la naissance, d'une intuition décorative qui nous permettrait de faire mouche à chaque fois, nous sommes tous capables de nous améliorer : il suffit pour cela de s'initier aux bases et d'exercer son talent.Ce livre est une partition remplie de mélodies et d'accords à combiner au gré de vos envies pour vous composer un chez-vous harmonieux et douillet.»#Trendenser, L'art d'être bien chez moi, de Frida Ramstedt est l'ouvrage qu'il vous faut pour vous sentir bien chez vous !

'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.

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.
