Lars Bolander’s Scandinavian Design
Given my penchant for Scandinavian style you can imagine how happy I was to receive a copy of Lars Bolander’s Scandinavian Design by Heather Smith MacIsaac which is being released today. (Yes, today!)
Lars Bolander is a leading Swedish interior designer who has designed homes all around the world. In Scandinavian Design, he shares his expertise and experience, showing us how to incorporate and mix Scandinavian elements to create the Scandinavian look in our own homes.
The book starts with architecture, then moves into interiors, room by room, highlighting furniture and accessories.
All of the homes featured in the book are beautiful in their individual way while sharing the very Scandinavian traits of being unfussy, well-proportioned, light-filled and tranquil.
Scandinavian Design is definitely another one you’ll want to add to your library and as I said, it’s being released today. Click here to read more and to see ordering options.
This book is for me! The blue wallpaper is dreamy!

I know! This book is amazing and I was literally licking the computer screen when I read a recent review over at 'Swedish Interiors by Eleish van Breems'.
I can't wait to get my own copy!

Looks like a definite addition to my book collection. Best of both worlds with amazing pictures and sounds like good advice too!
It looks like a great book and I so love that look. If only I could keep my spaces so uncluttered!

Ally,
I don't have the book (yet) and I have never visited his store (I believe he has 2?) but I sure admire his style. He is the most fabulous "mixer" of old and new. Just look at the cover – where he smartly placed 18th c. etchings between contemporary paintings. So, my style.
And his flagship store is in NY!! (:
Love to you, Mon
I have a very long list of must purchase books and this is getting added to it. How fun to receive a package with this book in it!! Janell

Wow, I had no idea. I remember my mentor working with him when I was just starting out in the biz. His office is just over the bridge in Palm Beach. He has a great reputation in the design community here and his book looks awesome! Thanks for sharing.
