i recently saw an exhibition of carl larsson's (one of my childhood favourites) work here in munich were they had also recreated rooms of his house. he and his wife karin developed a very special style that became well known and is still influential today (last but not least through ikea)
the light and warm tones and the mixture of decoration and clear shapes are so appealing
