Modern Scandinavian architecture at its best.......2006-06-12
I love Scandinavian architecture, both traditional and modern. This book has well done photographs of some of the most simply eloquent modern Scandinavian homes. It makes you want to live in one of these most appealing dwellings. Every so often I look through the book once more and enjoy the beautifully photographed exteriors and interiors of the homes all over again.
200+ Pictures of Functional and Beautiful Interiors........2004-07-26
The first time I went to Scandinavia, I arrived in Helsinki late in the evening. I went to my hotel, and in the first few minutes I understood what was so special about Scandinavian design. The otherwise ordinary hotel room stood out as one of the best I have ever seen. It was not a tremendously expensive hotel, rather middle of the road. But simple things: the door, the faucets in the bathroom, the furniture, all were so much more elegant looking than what we find in the United States.
Now I'm in the process of designing a house. I went looking for a book on interior design that would reflect what I had seen there. I found several, but this one shows more elements of design that reflect what I like. Simple things, like an office table. Easy enough to find, once I knew what I was looking for. A bed: simple, elegant, and better looking than anything I've seen in other publications.
If you're looking for something for yourself or if you're doing a Scandinavian home for a customer I highly recommend this book.

Book Description
This book focuses on the art and craft of Scandinavian style, and details in depth the creation of an exquisitely crafted Wisconsin family compound in the style of Swedens great colorist and artist, Carl Larsson. Offering a wealth of ideas and inspiration for anyone with an urge to redecorate, renovate, remodel, or build, Country Living Scandinavias hundreds of photos-taken over the two years it took to create and furnish this family retreat- show people how to replicate this marvelous design style themselves.
Customer Reviews:
A Special House.......2006-09-02
What a visual treat this book was. For anyone that has seen a painting of Carl Larsson's home and fallen in love with the clean lines and colors of Scandinavian interiors, this book carries that love to the next level. Wisconsin native Loran Nordgren created a home using the traditional elements like built-in beds, carving, colors, but added some contemporary conveniences. The books chronicles the planning and construction of the house, but the wealth of photos and design ideas have wide appeal.
Scandinavian Delights.......2004-12-15
I give Mr. Nordgren the owner high credit for the obvious mega $$$ he spent to have his Carl Larsson dream home come to life. However I concur with a prior reviewer that the interior decorating is sub-par with oversized furniture & decorator pieces that evoke a Non-Scandinavian feel that appears to conflict with its authetic Scandinavian backdrop of the houses interior details. If it was my money $$$ I would have sought out correct period Scandinavian antiques or had authentic pieces recreated from scratch with a 100% effort to create the Nordic "look". Would recommend the book as a strong buy with great design ideas throughout.
Fantastic read.......2004-09-21
As a lover of the traditional Scandinavian home style, and the owner of four such homes, I found this book truly helpful in decorating all of them. The authors, including Ms. Sears have such an passionate eye for this unique and gorgeous style.
An American Take on the Swedish Style Home.......2003-06-22
This is an excellent pictoral review of a lovely home recently built in the Wisconsin countryside. The book is full of great ideas for both interior and especially exterior architectural details. As an interior and architectural designer, I have stolen ideas extensively for a Scandinavian style home I am working on which is currently under construction. The house featured in the book is beautifully done, but not for those seeking a subtle take on the Swedish/Scandinavian home. Disneyesque could aptly describe the overall look and feel of the home. This is not to say it does not have a great charm, but it slams its design concepts home with no punches pulled. It is an American interpretation and distillation of Scandinavia.
There are a lot of great ideas for color and design for the built interiors, but I found the interior furnishings and accessories to be ameteurish and do not live up to the professional standard of the architecture that contains it. The furnishings are rather middle of the road contemporary country style and do not suit the carefully orchestrated design concepts of the architectural designer. For instance the sofas are large and clunky, and are upholstered in a bland fabric - none of which would ever been found in a house of this type of traditional Swedish home.
With that caveat I highly recommend the book to those who admire the Scandinavian style and especially to anyone planning to design and build a home in this style.
Scandinavian Interior Design.......2001-12-18
As a folk artist, I am interested in European interior design. My interest in Swedish design lies in the magnificient use of color. This book provided what I needed.

Book Description
Let best-selling author Judith Miller show how to create country style anywhere!
* Covers all types of country, from all around the world
* Advice on choosing color, fabric furniture, and much more
* Hundreds of inspiring color photos plus resource
Country living has evolved into an international style that celebrates rural pleasures and the simple life. Relaxed and informal, assured and unpretentious, it offers an appealing refuge from day-to-day stress. In Influential Country Styles, best-selling interiors and antiques author Judith Miller looks at how country traditions from around the world have influenced home décor around the world. All the world's varieties of country style are included, from the rustic simplicity of a spare American Shaker interior, to the comfortable clutter of an English cottage; from the exuberance of a colorful Mediterranean villa to the cool lines of a Scandinavian farmhouse. Origins and development of each style, natural resources and elements used, key characteristics, and textiles, furniture, decorative arts, wall and floor coverings, and more are examined--making each look both easy to understand and easy to re-create in the reader's own home. Miller's informative text, accompanied by full-color photography, celebrates the warmth, simplicity, and spirit of the rural tradition in interior design.
