The Home Scandi Bible

Create a calm, cosy and clutter-free living space. Most of us have a basic understanding of what is meant by Scandi design – simplicity, minimalism and functionality. We may even claim to understand the concepts of lagom or hygge. But these buzzwords are simply scratching the surface of what is a significant design movement that emerged in Scandinavia more than a hundred years ago. It’s easy to apply Scandi design principles to our own homes, with no real purpose or understanding of why we’re doing what we’re doing, and then wonder why our homes don’t quite look like the Scandi homes of Instagram, or why we’re not getting that warm, cosy feeling everyone talks about. In the Home Scandi Bible, delve into the culture and ethos of the Scandinavian people, examining their values and lifestyle. By learning these basic principles before getting into the design details, your living spaces will make more sense and you will be able to reap the benefits of a Scandi-inspired home.
