Beata Heuman: Every Room Should Sing

Product Information

The most recent thing I bought for my home were some mid-19th century needlepoint cushions from an auction house in Sweden.

Heuman’s outlook isn’t focused solely on “beauty” or the “ideal home”, but on creating something that she believes is truer to human nature, a philosophy that “has established a well-deserved reputation for homes filled with whimsical, personal details” (Vogue UK). Lauded for international residential and commercial projects, Heuman has also garnered praise for her growing collection of bespoke fabrics, wallpaper, lighting, homewares, and furniture.In a short amount of time her lively interiors and custom furnishings have made her one of today s most in-demand creatives. In it, she gives the lowdown on how to give your home the Heuman treatment, transforming it with playful details, bright colours and bespoke furnishings, telling the story through photographs of some of her most ambitious projects. As we approach the anniversary of the first lockdown and mark a year of staying put, there’s one thing that stands out as a positive: with our homes out of bounds to anyone who didn’t live there, this was the year we stopped trying to impress other people.

Swedish-born, London-based interior designer Beata Heuman has created this beautifully crafted volume presenting her innovative approach to design in book form for the very first time.

The blue cabinet hides the refrigerator, and all the cabinetry handles were designed for the room and made by hand in Florence. Vibrant photographs showcase standout properties--including several London town houses and a Nantucket vacation residence--that are brought to life by cheerful color palettes, unexpected contrasts, and a dégagé use of bold patterns and texture. The mural on the terrace was inspired by the facade of the Palazzina del Cavaliere in the Giardino di Bobili in Florence, Italy. There is an oscillating line starting with the rattan chair, across the fire guard, following the lyre shape in the cabinet and over the back of the Wave Longue day bed in the bay window. Our home was everything to me and that feeling— that this one place can encompass all that you need—has never left me.

We’re already imagining our children fighting over it – I think we’re going to have to get another piece so they can each have one. I probably shouldn’t sully his work by letting my children learn how to use a knife and fork on his inlayed wood, but at least we’re all enjoying it. It is soulless design with no sense of place, and because of how prescriptive this look is, it is almost impossible to add layers to, and so it mostly just stays that way.

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.It has a strong following on these platforms and regularly shares design inspiration and tips with its followers.
