Swedish Style by Katrin Cargill

Swedish Style by Katrin Cargill

With its emphasis on light-infused interiors and fresh painted surfaces, Swedish interior design is easy to live with, traditional and yet contemporary in its appeal. Katrin Cargill distils the chief characteristics of a look that embraces the cool colours and modest proportions of Gustavian interiors and the unpretentious charm of country nostalgia. Five practical chapters – The Essence of Swedish Style, Colour and Paint, Furniture, Fabric and Accessories – show how you can adapt and recreate this style in your own home. The photographs, many of little-known Swedish interiors, feature rooms where the look has been successfully recreated and some of the period houses that provide the inspiration.

Christopher Drake is a photographer specializing in interiors. His photographs have appeared in magazines including Country Living, World of Interiors, Victoria and many other publications around the world. Brought up in South America and Norway he now lives in London.

Katrin Cargill is a freelance decorator and writer and former features editor at the World of Interiors and decorating editor at the American House Beautiful. Of Swiss and Swedish descent, she has lived in the USA and Europe and is now based in London with her family.
