Är svensk inredning och design 'lagom'?
Kommentarer (6)Hej! I am Australian and live in Australia but have lived 7 years in Sweden. My written Swedish is rusty so I am going to write here in English in case you are interested in some more thoughts, although you have probably already written your article. I know more what lagom means than the average English speaker, but I certainly can't truly 'feel' it like a Swede who has grown up with it. For me it feels like how much Kalles I might put on my knackbrod, but I have lately started to try to think of it in terms of interiors and see if it works. The reason I am doing that is that I am currently working in the field of Professional Organising- helping people de-clutter, scale back, and organise. This process results in quite a makeover for a home and even life style and can be life changing. I personally LOVE minimalism and talk about it often but I find that the average person I meet is a bit cynical of minimalism and thinks it is too extreme. I have been reading a ton about minimalism and read some about hygge. I think what the average person is longing for is some minimalism+ some hygge. I think the current world (politics and fast pace of life , overdose of stuff, and overdose of info in our face all day on our screens, etc etc) feels a bit stressful for everyone these days. So, although the average person longs for simplicity, the word minimalism scares some people, and hygge is too cozy for some and so the concept and word LAGOM may be just the answer! The 'world' may start to borrow the word lagom from you Swedes now to fill a need for a word lacking in English that can fall between minimalism and cosy, that can feel relaxing, and which doesn't mean you have to get rid of as much as minimalism does. It may well gain a meaning outside of Sweden that is a different to inside Sweden I suppose. For example if the word became popular it could become a term for a 'style'. That would be pretty different to the meaning inside Sweden. I am actually planning to introduce the concept and word 'lagom' to my clients as way to encourage them to get rid of excess and have a calmer home, yet not be afraid as the goal does not have to be minimalism, it can be 'lagom' - just right, perfect, not too little, not too much. It sounds like a level or quantity they can choose themself as we go along. A bit like Marie Kondo's method; 'Choose to keep only what gives YOU joy and you will end up with just the right amount of stuff. It will be a result that fits YOU, not something you have to try to work to achieve, which I think Minimalism may feel to the average person. Shevaun Sandlund in West Australia....

Kommentarer (23)Mey, it was not my intention to hurt your feelings nor to sugarcoat the fact that you need more color. You know this better than anyone. Why else should you show the ( very ) different color curtains? I don't know what your going to du but, I am absolutely convinced you'll do what you need to do, you'll do it when you're good and ready. Last but not least, it'll be fantastic! Once again, Mey, good luck to you and please please could you not write again, to keep us posted?!... Se merinredning i vardagsrummet , lite trångt avsmalnat rum
Kommentarer (5)Hej Mona, I hope its ok write in English. I have a few suggestions for you, that should make you feel more at balance and at home with your living room. The shelf above the sofa looks great! Also super nice decorated and not too cluttered (happens more often than not in my house) Instead of having many small plants, swap them for 2-3 bigger ones, placed on the floor. Just because you have a window sill doesn’t mean it needs to be filled, less is more. I love the warm colours, the rusty orange, greens and beige. I only find the white knitted blanket to be a harsh contrast. Maybe it can move to another room? Since your TV is mounted on the wall, I would add a slim shelf/ box shelf underneath (also hanging on the wall) – depending on the type of receiver you have, you can even hide it behind the tv – there are fixtures for that. Then I would remove the tv bench underneath, for a more spacious feel of the room. The cables I would put in a plastic rail/ tub, leading to the outlet. In terms of wall paint, Id go for a warm dark grey on the wall behind the sofa & tv. If you have any more questions feel free to ask Hope I helped a little! Have a great day!...

Kommentarer (2)Hi Francesca! Nice place you got. I suggest you create a conversation corner, with two smaller sofas facing each other, or one sofa and two chairs. You can also change position of the sofa to back on to the cupboards if you don't need to face a TV. And then just go for it with colorful rugs, cushions and art! Please post when you have started, look forward to seeing the transformation!... Se mer

9 år sedanthe computer is on the left with the cabinet, but this will not work for your connection. can you take a picture of the cabinet. perhaps you can turn it and put the TV on top, eliminate the little stand all together.

9 år sedanthanks for your ideas Flair lighting, here is a photo of the cabinet and the photo of the rug we just bought we could find a zebra rug ,we thought this may match as well. I dont have a coffee table and near the door on the left side there will be an empty space what can we put there to close the gab, and about putting the tv on top of the cabinet dont you think it wll be too hight?

9 år sedanHere's an earthy look for you. Your curtains are too skimpy to close and it looks like you need to block some intense light, so get a bamboo blind. Then just use your curtains as panels at each end.
You can do a plain sisal or jute rug in natural color, and a reclaimed wood coffee table for more texture. Lose the torchiere and replace it with a real lamp.
If your pictures are prints, frame them. In any case, lower them to about the height shown below: eye level when sitting at the table.
Some earthy kilim pillows and an antique dough bowl on the table add interest.

9 år sedanOk, I'm a Realtor not an interior designer, but I think you would get more mileage from the larger furniture by having the open space central to all of the pieces so that they all use the same basic traffic pattern. I agree with a post above about the table being a little large. If you went with a round table in front of the French doors they wouldn't feel as inaccessible and closed off from the room. Move your longest piece of furniture to the longest solid wall and by putting the cabinet/tv on the wall where the dining table started out you open up the room and all seating arrangements are accessible to the tv and somewhat facing the entry door. When you entertain the table offers another seating area and everyone is facing toward the center of the room for a more social climate!
