Reviews
“It’s all too rare, and such a treat, to have a window into a culture from an insider with the perspective of an outsider. Barbara has had the distance to identify what is truly unique to the Dutch, and the lifelong connections to find this lovely mix of creatives with inspiring, thoughtful, and hopeful stories. Coming Home is a great playbook as we’re all looking for ways to reinvent our spaces—and just as hygge suddenly became a part of our vocabulary years ago,
I think this book will do that for gezellig.”—Yolanda Edwards, Founder and Creative Director of Yolo Journal
“In Coming Home, Barbara de Vries offers a joyful picture of contemporary Dutch domestic life. In these homes—many of which are agricultural or industrial buildings that were repurposed by
their creative owners, among them architects, designers, and artists—a sense of exuberance characterizes the interiors. Some are elegantly spare, while others are filled with art, furniture,
and objects, but unlike so many interiors today, there is nothing studied or precious about these spaces. They are full of meaning and heart, and speak volumes about their owners’
personalities and passions.”—Pilar Viladas, Design Writer and Editor
"Think warm colours, flattering lighting, lots of books, plants, knick-knacks — Scandi minimalism this is not.” —THE SUNDAY TIMES
"The large, open space that defines Petra Janssen and Edwin Vollebergh's home is divided by a recycled glass wall designed by Piet Hein Eek.” —W MAGAZINE
"Be it a charming canal house, a hyper-contemporary residence, or a humble houseboat, the Dutch have always had a special relationship with their homes and a nonchalant ease when it comes to decorating them. This book invites you inside some of the Netherlands’ most inspiring.” —ELLE DECOR
“We love how diverse the types of dwellings are…barns, train stations, windmills, an old garage…” —HOW TO DECORATE
"I was entranced with the images, the beautiful photography and then the text, which is a delicate treatise on how to live. With warmth and personality, it celebrates comfort and joy.” - Cathleen McGuigan, Architectural Record
"This photographic portfolio and accompanying texts detail how the creative Dutch community has invented a truly unique lifestyle and ways for building and decorating." —WORLD HOPE FORUM
