Ode to Decoration
As we’re putting this issue to bed, I’m still on a Scandinavian high. I went to Sweden for the first time for the Stockholm Furniture Fair and it was an eye-opening experience. We usually equate the typical Scandinavian interior with white walls, blonde wood and subdued hues – but there’s actually so much diversity in terms of style and approach. "We spend a lot of time indoors and therefore invest in our homes," said
magazine’s editor-in-chief, Hanna Nova Beatrice, during a panel discussion. The weather may play a large factor, but there’s no denying that from the Danes to the Finns, they all share an inherent love of good design that inspire them to thoughtfully invest in their spaces.
If there’s one key point to glean, it’s embracing the process of creating a space that’s uniquely your own. Whether you’re renting a flat in the city or planning a second home in the countryside, this issue features an array of interior styles to inspire you. Should you wish to craft a glamorous European like the one on our cover, an artistic and eclectic atmosphere (flip to page 182), or a modern-day beach house (turn to page 140), we’ve collated diverse points of view in our decorating special.
As with fashion, you’ll find that certain looks will speak to you. The key is to be true to yourself and your style – and not forget to have fun. We’ve got that covered, with more than 20 pages dedicated to fabric, wallpaper and textiles to add an extra punch of colour, pattern and personality that transforms a good home into a great one. Should you be hungry for more design and decorating ideas, I invite you to visit our website at – where inspiration lives.
完成此書時，我還在迷戀著北歐風情。首次到瑞典出席斯德哥摩爾傢具家飾展的我，的確大開眼界。想起典型北歐室內裝潢，人們總常把它與白牆、淺色木材和低調色彩拉上關係，但這種風格和取向著實擁有極多元化層面。
雜誌總編輯Hanna Nova Beatrice在評審討論時表示：「我們常留在室內，故應在家多作投資。」天氣固然是重要因素，但丹麥人還是芬蘭人也同樣對良好設計擁有深切愛慕，更不吝嗇將之注入家中。
