What a lucky girl I am! My husband was in Sweden and came back with a beautiful present: Details at home is written in Swedish and English, and as the title suggests, is about details.
Details that catch your eyes
Details that make the difference. I particularly loved the flippers and the flipflops hanging on the wall. They break the sterility of the ambience, making you laugh.
The authors, husband and wife team Ulf Huett Nilsson and Annika Huett, define their concept in this book:
“We’re often in a hurry to throw away, exchange or rebuild. But the details that create a personal feel don’t have to be new and expensive… In a hunt for fun and different stuff, we explored Sweden. We visited uniquely personal homes from north to south, peeking into room after room, and discovering that almost anything can be a fascinating detail… So give time to details. They might turn out to be the most beautiful things you own.”
They visited 32 homes in Sweden and captured in 650 pictures, different ambiences and ordinary objects as children's toys, kitchen cupboards and shelves with colourful dishware.
Therefore I am delighted with the 192 pages of this book, with all these lovely photographs that show us how details can be inspiring and make a house a home.
