{"product_id":"the-swedish-room-9780679758396","title":"The Swedish Room","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelebrated for its soft palette  clean and spare look  and neoclassical European style underscored by rustic Scandinavian charm  the Swedish interior has been an endless source of imitation. The Swedish Room guides the reader through more than two hundred breathtaking images and an authoritative accompanying text which focus on those special features of the traditional Swedish room that have made it one of the major influences in decorating today.  Whether in a royal guest room or a farmers kitchen  the traditional details -- wide-board  unpolished wooden floors  simple checked or striped fabrics  the elegant outlines of a Gustavian chair  and the gleaming tiles of a ceramic stove -- all work to delight the eye.  Ursula and Lars Sjoberg trace the development of the quintessential Swedish room from the seventeenth century through its heyday in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to its reinterpretations today. With glorious photographs by Ingalill Snitt  The Swedish Room is both a source of practical decorating ideas and an irresistible voyage of discovery through some of the worlds most appealing interiors.  Praise for The Swedish Room  \"The Swedes have long been some of the cleverest colorists around  as Lars and Ursula Sjoberg reveal in their new book.\"  -- Town and Country  \"Here are inspiring images of rough-edged but strangely regal eighteenth-century farms  Country houses  and city mansions. Poetic  accessible juxtapositions abound. Homespun gingham checks upholster Versailles-style chairs. Town houses display humble whitewashed walls  while artful stenciling decorates their country cousins.\"  -- Mitchell Owens  New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45650356568117,"sku":"ByrdShop_0679758399","price":100.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780679758396.jpg?v=1781794913","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-swedish-room-9780679758396","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
