Laila Rietbergen – författare

The Japandi style has proven to be a timeless and beloved style for many. In her second book, Laila Rietbergen, author of the successful Japandi Living (9789401483711), dives deeper into the interior trend, with more practical tips, more diverse interiors and how to give them the 'Japandi Touch'. The book features more than 200 images of the most beautiful Japandi interiors and designs. Although natural and pastel colours set the direction in a Japandi interior, this time Laila does not shy away from interesting experiments with a bit more colour. She informs you how to give small, dark spaces the lightness of Japandi, or how to make large, open spaces cosy anyway. She also explains the diversity of Japandi and the evolution the style has gone through in different places around the world.
