Scandi Living Made Simple: A bit of an Introduction

"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

- William Morris

Lighting - Scandinavian homes are designed to embrace as much natural light as possible. Large windows are left open or dressed with sheer curtains to let daylight flow in, creating bright and airy rooms. When the sun sets, soft layered lighting — like floor lamps, candles, and warm-toned bulbs — adds a cozy glow that balances function with atmosphere.

Natural Materials - Wood is at the heart of Scandinavian design. Light oak, birch, and pine bring warmth and balance to otherwise minimal spaces. Pairing wood with natural textiles like linen, wool, or cotton softens the look and creates a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Using these materials not only adds texture but also connects your home to nature — a key principle of Scandi living.

Cozy touches, Hygge - A danish word meaning coziness, comfort and well-being created by enjoying the simple things in life. It's not only about objects but about atmosphere and moments. By, for example, lighting a candle, drinking a cup of tea with family or friends, or simply reading a book with a nice blanket curled up on the sofa.
