Are you a minimalist, leave and breathe functional design, while still being stylish? Then, you will love Scandinavian Design as much as I do. The Swedish have an art of living a happy, balanced life and there is no question that they bring this into their homes as well. Designing slowly and being conscious of what you buy is key.

“The environment in the Nordic countries was largely responsible for the design that evolved. Winters were long, meaning there was little daylight, and people often had very small houses, causing the need for bright and airy, yet cozy, homes.” You will notice that window treatments are usually sheers, white and minimal to let as much light in as possible. “White is often used as the main color, but doesn’t make the room look sparse because natural materials, such as wood, bring warmth and texture.”
