Home Inspiration by teNeues goes into the next round - and has never been more relevant. After all, when the world around us is in shambles, a home with a feel-good vibe is essential. For some, a pared-down aesthetic that exudes a pleasant homeliness may be the right path to well-deserved ease; for others, a cheerful riot of colour is a fitting counterpart to the monochromatic daily grind. Two very different approaches that nevertheless pursue the same goal: to conjure up a real retreat from a simple living space. Whether Hygge or Lagom, the Scandinavians manage the balancing act between inviting cosiness and inspiring modernity without precedent. Almost puristic in appearance, a combination of natural materials such as wood, pampas grass or ceramics and clean lines create an unobtrusive understatement. This turns a world of furnishings into an attitude to life that promises more balance in all situations - and this is what people outside Scandinavia are striving for. In the usual teNeues quality with a high-quality layout, large-format images and exciting content, the new illustrated books in the freshly launched series now skilfully set the scene for two further interior trends, elegantly acting as decorative eye-catching pieces themselves. A practical index, which offers support in the search for brands and manufacturers, as well as fascinating rooms for re-styling make the books true inspirational treasures for every interior enthusiast. Other titles in the series include: Boho Style: Bohemian ISBN 9783961715008 Colors: Colorful ISBN 9783961714506 Eco Materials: Decorating with Ecological Materials ISBN 9783961715015 Modern Glam: Glamorous ISBN 9783961714308 Patterns: Patterned ISBN 9783961714292 Text in English and German.
