Good handbook!
After buying the handbook for over a month and reading it carefully in my busy schedule, I realized that this is really a very treasure and practical interior design manual. The contents are comprehensive but concise, and the design layout and specification tips of the interior space are analyzed in a light and orderly manner. I personally, as a professional interior design practitioner, but the content is easy to understand, even for amateurs I believe it is also a look at the expression of understanding. Highly recommended ð Whether you are a professional or a non-professional, as long as you have a requirement and aspiration for the space or even a desire to make hands-on adjustments, this is a very good textbook ð¤ I will take it with me to read it carefully while I work and learn slowly! ð

Very useful
I bought this book after returning the top-ranked so-called âinterior designâ book on Amazon (which turned out to be very repetitive design porn from an influencer – nothing instructional or helpful). If you want glossy pics of whatâs trendy (and expensive) or what a particular designer/influencer uses repeatedly, this book from Frida Ramstedt is not a good choice. I had know idea who she is and I really donât care (though the book mentions she has a popular blog and I suspect sheâs well known in Scandinavia). Unlike the aforementioned book, Ms. Ramstedtâs book isnât about her preferences and favorite projects. Itâs not even particularly focused on Scandinavian design (though there is a section where Scandinavian architecture is illustrated with line drawings). It is an actually useful guidebook with general rules and advice for anyone who wants to design their own interior or better understand how an interior designer (versus an influencer) approaches a project. I just finishing skimming the book and I know I will come back to it for guidance on everything from paint colors to furniture buying and placement to creating still lifes with items I already own. Ms. Ramstedt isnât trying to sell her âbrand,â sheâs actually providing an instructional handbook (it even includes an index for quickly finding answers to your specific design questions). Very glad I replaced my early purchase with this!

Excellent book explaining the basics of design
This book is well-written and organized, easy to understand, covers virtually all the ‘basics’ of interior design – I found it quite useful, I think most anyone would benefit from the information. The book does NOT contain any photographs of home interiors/rooms- the illustrations that accompany the text are quality sketches (the book is printed in monochrome, not color). I think there are certain concepts that would more readily be explained by the diligent use of real room photos – this would help explain concepts such as ‘negative space’, anchoring and focal point. For a person like myself who has no formal training in home decorating this book is a great place to start; the principles laid out in the book apply to any decorating ‘style’, be it ‘Traditional’, ‘Contemporary’, Scandinavian, etc., etc. Overall a worthwhile purchase/ good value – 2 thumbs up!

Practical handbook for creating your home
This was a quick and friendly read for anyone planning out their home. We are in the middle of a full house renovation and I wanted to be sure I got the little details right. This is written for the ordinary person, itâs not technical and dry. Itâs helpful for creating inviting spaces because it breaks down HOW to achieve the looks we see online and in print. How to arrange things, how to plan a lighting scheme, color planning-it is all here and easily accessible-itâs not lofty and unattainable-it literally breaks down how to create a polished and finished room without hiring a designer. Highly recommend for anyone with a space to live-apartment or mansion, the principles are the same!

This book is that.If you donât feel confident about color choices, lighting, rug sizes or window treatments, this book addresses all that and SO MUCH MORE!

One of my greatest purchases of 2023
Amazing book, has so much knowledge in just one book! Really aesthetically pleasing as well so it doubles as decor. The cover looks like linen or cotton fabric. Really luxurious. Everyone asks me about the book when they see it because itâs so cute!

Als jemand, der sich für Interior Design interessiert, aber nicht genau wusste, wo ich anfangen soll, hat mich “The Interior Design Handbook” wirklich begeistert. Es ist kein typisches Coffeetable-Buch mit nur schönen Bildern â hier bekommt man richtig praktische Tipps und Anleitungen, die einem helfen, den eigenen Wohnraum besser zu verstehen und zu gestalten.Das Buch ist unglaublich gut strukturiert. Es führt einen Schritt für Schritt durch die Grundlagen des Interior Designs, angefangen bei Farbtheorien bis hin zur richtigen Anordnung von Möbeln. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass es nicht überfordert, sondern die Prinzipien einfach und verständlich erklärt. Man muss kein Profi sein, um die Tipps umsetzen zu können, und das ist für mich ein groÃer Pluspunkt.Die Autorin gibt konkrete Beispiele und zeigt, wie man aus jedem Raum das Beste herausholen kann, ohne dass man gleich ein riesiges Budget benötigt. Sie legt den Fokus auf die Grundlagen, wie z. B. Proportionen, Licht, und wie man verschiedene Stile miteinander kombiniert. Das Buch hilft dabei, die eigenen Vorstellungen klarer zu sehen und in die Praxis umzusetzen.Optisch ist das Buch selbst ein kleines Kunstwerk. Die Gestaltung ist minimalistisch, sehr ansprechend und spiegelt genau das wider, was es lehrt: gutes Design ist oft einfach und funktional. Die Illustrationen und Fotos sind elegant und inspirierend, ohne dass man das Gefühl hat, von übermäÃig luxuriösen oder unrealistischen Interieurs erschlagen zu werden.
