Beata Heuman: Every Room Should Sing

Product Information

Places of worship are designed to inspire their congregations and help them access a range of emotions through architecture and iconography. The one-stop sourcebook for the considered home, guiding readers artfully through the remodeling and design process. This is a book celebrating 10 years of collaboration between Lotta Agaton, one of Sweden´s leading interior stylists and internationally acclaimed photographer Pia Ulin. In another sense, they scream Heuman so much that I personally wouldn't hire her because I would want my rooms to scream "me.

I believe that if you are happy in your home environment, you will feel a sense of fulfilment and well-being, and your home can become what I think all interiors should be: truly life enhancing.We see this design working well in a bedroom or living room too, as the pattern holds its own whilst also being somewhat discreet.

The Remodelista editors provide a curated selection of product recommendations for your consideration. The Lyre cabinet and Wave Longue were both made for this room, and are now part of my studio’s furniture collection. Yes, Remodelista offers design consulting services to homeowners who want professional help with their renovation or design projects.You need to remember that people will live in these houses all year round; they will be in different moods and at different points in their lives. It needs to be a fold for all the experiences you go through, which is a completely individual journey.

This is definitely something that has affected my view of home and how I would like to live, especially as my interests, needs, and priorities shift as time goes by.During an event celebrating the launch of her book, Beata shared her expertise in using light and colors to exhibit a room of contrasts that will allow your room to sing as loud as her masterly crafted interior spaces. Swedish designer Beata Heuman has taken English interior design by the reins and firmly established herself as one who can speak the Kingdom’s aesthetic language, albeit with some Scandinavian playfulness and whimsy. Her voice is friendly, intelligent and she encourages you not to take things too seriously - it's no fun! The fact that this hopelessly dreary and already dated style remains the face of a multi billion-pound industry is baffling to me. You can’t overdo it, especially if you’re working a lot with color; it is so easy for it to look overbearing.

Heuman’s rooms, colorful spaces enlivened by exuberant elements and poetic inspirations, capture her signature quirkiness and Scandinavian attention to detail while staying rooted in practicality. Like most Swedes she holds Ikea close to her heart – “eating meatballs in the café was a treat at weekends” – and many of her projects features its pieces, such as a white vanity unit that she recently installed in a bathroom and upgraded with a pair of brass door knobs, or a set of black woven chairs, made unique with bespoke seat pads.Heuman cites the example of the Suffolk cottage featured in the book where she suggested a Thirties-style kitchen that reminded her of her parents’ kitchen in Sweden.

The stoneware clay Cormorant and Egret mirrors by Gail Dooley were made specially for the room to gaze toward one another, and the doors lead onto the terrace and garden at the back. Like anything worthwhile, it will take time and effort to work out what home means to you, and even longer to build an environment that is a true reflection of who you are. It mostly sells clothes, and I have bought quite a few pieces (which are generally made out of old tablecloths and other recycled textiles) but I also own some of its terracotta lamps.
