It’s All About Balance
Similarly to the idea of hygge, Sweden uses the word lagom, which means not too little, not too much—basically, finding the balance.
“In my home, I like to find a balance between minimalist and cozy. I love to mix and match old and new, and try to ensure no two items are the same for a relaxed look,” Brantmark says.
That means adding lots of textiles in the form of sheepskins, linen cushions, and layered rugs to boost the curl-up-and-relax factor, while keeping furniture and decor minimal and streamlined.
