Home is our happy place! At its heart, the quest to achieve this sentiment—now a leading design trend—is a reflection of society. How to do it, though? By following these four principles of lagom, a deep-rooted Swedish philosophy.
Find balance
Landing between minimalism and maximalism, Swedish homes strive for a “just right” balance, where simplicity, function and warmth cohabitate.
Choose calming colours
Colours influence our emotions, so it’s not surprising that the Swedes go for soothing, calm colours like warm white, greige (on trend!) and neutral tones.
Pssst! Drop your paintbrushes and go with the decorative CANTON Alta or CANTON Malmo wall panels. Their light hue will brighten and warm up your rooms.
Envelop yourself in texture
Bye-bye cold, monotonous styles! Natural textures like linen, wool and wood are what we want now.
An ingenious, easy-to-apply tip:
Dress your walls with the decorative CANTON Alta or CANTON Malmo panels, which impeccably mimic Scandinavian-inspired light wood.
Cut back on consumption
With its preference for “slow design” as opposed to overconsumption, lagom follows the adage of “less is more.” Think timeless design, updating classic furniture and replacing knick-knacks with plants.
