Coming Home Summary

Coming Home: Modern Rustic: Creative Living in Dutch Interiors by Barbara De Vries

With a carefully curated collection of interiors, including historic canal houses, restored farms, and green homes, belonging to interior designers, product designers, architects, and artists, this book showcases creative and resourceful living. These properties have been created or renovated and brought into the twenty-first century with typical Dutch style and sensibility environmentally friendly, imaginative uses of space filled with colour and charm and never to be taken too seriously. Each home in the book reflects the personality and spirit of the people who inhabit it. From designer Piet Hein Eek s converted factory space in Eindhoven to artist Claudy Jongstra s farmhouse in Spannum where chamomile grows in the biodynamic garden, Coming Home illustrates fun ideas and easy ways to incorporate individual style into your surroundings. Whether it s the traditional lowlands aesthetic of combining old and new, faded and inviting, into a casual chic or a quirky reinvention of a space that reveals a touch of eccentricity, this book illustrates why the Netherlands is truly loved by so many and can be an inspiration to us all.

Coming Home Reviews

Barbara de Vries's Coming Home is a visual feast of wildly beautiful interiors crafted with originality and ingenuity. Each and every one has a fascinating narrative that enriches the wonderful photography, bringing you that much deeper into private worlds, which I find completely inspiring. This is a book of interiors that couldn't be more in sync with our times.-Wendy Goodman, Design Editor of New York Magazine

It's all too rare, and such a treat, to have a window into a culture from an insider with the perspective of an outsider. Barbara has had the distance to identify what is truly unique to the Dutch, and the lifelong connections to find this lovely mix of creatives with inspiring, thoughtful, and hopeful stories. Coming Home is a great playbook as we're all looking for ways to reinvent our spaces-and just as hygge suddenly became a part of our vocabulary years ago,
I think this book will do that for gezellig.-Yolanda Edwards, Founder and Creative Director of Yolo Journal

In Coming Home, Barbara de Vries offers a joyful picture of contemporary Dutch domestic life. In these homes-many of which are agricultural or industrial buildings that were repurposed by
their creative owners, among them architects, designers, and artists-a sense of exuberance characterizes the interiors. Some are elegantly spare, while others are filled with art, furniture,
and objects, but unlike so many interiors today, there is nothing studied or precious about these spaces. They are full of meaning and heart, and speak volumes about their owners'
personalities and passions.-Pilar Viladas, Design Writer and Editor
