2: Good basic intro but prissy
This is a good and basic introduction to the elements of Swedish style in interior design. There is a simple historical summary that captures the background to Swedish design without making erudite comments on the style itself, other than to list the fundamental principles. The asthetic choices are very tuille and English in flavour; something that a middle-class London matron may aspire to. The lack of real recourse to original Swedish design and then imaginative and tasteful modern alternatives makes this book disappointing. "The Swedish Room" is far more inspiring and authentic.
