Lagom: new decoration trend in Sweden

Living happily and in balance

Lagom is like Hygge, because Lagom also has no clear translation or definition. It is a concept of "not too much and not too little, right".

This statement is found both in work/life balance and financial well-being. In other words: it is the right measure in all areas of life.

This is not a fashionable lifestyle at the moment, but rather a cultural lifestyle. It is important to find the balance that leads to a healthy life.

The followers of this simple style have adapted this idea to furniture and design.

Lagom, the new Hygge

The golden rule is: don't play too much with colors!

Select a base color and then try to use other colors as accents - everything should be harmonious and consistent.

Monochrome is your best friend. Use a maximum of three to five colors from the same color family. Aesthetics and balance are crucial here. Another essential aspect is the balance in the distribution of the decoration.

Happiness = Lagom

We return from decadence to simplicity and restraint. Small details do not make the room look naked. Decorative accents in the form of plants, natural materials and fabrics highlight the lived sustainability of this trend.

Recycled materials are welcome in the home. The Lagom look means reducing all details to the essentials. Such understatements serve as a complement to a clean design and create maximum effect with minimum effort.
