6 Cheap Decorating Tips to Steal From Hot Scandinavian Designers
Scandinavian design is associated with simplicity, functionality, and style. Unfortunately, it’s also associated with designer price tags.
Luckily, there is still hope if you want in on the cozy look of these stylish Nordics, but don’t want to drop $500 on an Arne Jacobsen ice bucket.
Taking a Scandinavian approach to your interior design could actually save you money on decorating, and — according to Sara Norrman, editor-in-chief of Houzz Sweden — help you live a happier life.
“This is about much more than painting your floorboards white or throwing a sheepskin on a chair,” she says. “It’s a mind-set that informs everyday life.”
Move over, Dr. Oz; Scandinavian design is the new magic pill.
The fact is, year after year, countries such as Denmark and Norway take first and second place on lists of the happiest countries in the world, so maybe there is something to this.
As Norrman puts it, “Living with design is simply living well, caring about how the things around you work, how they make you feel and how they are made.”
To help you do just that, we’ve put together a list of six tips from Scandinavian designers to help you create a Scandinavian home without breaking the bank.
