I'm fond of the Sharif rug from Crate & Barrel which costs about $79 for a 3 x 5' size. You could put a larger one under the table instead but on the floor a rug will gather crumbs while that won't happen if you hang it on the wall. You should hang the rug vertically. On the other wall, because of the thermostat's location, you'll need a pair of pictures, with one hung 1' under the thermostat and the other 1' above it. The art should have similar colors to the rug. On the table you could consider a glass container full of faux oranges.

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 merWANTED; Professionals that would like to share a creative space !
Kommentarer (0)My name is Andre Schievink and I run the design studio Amsterdam Living here in Stockholm. I have been working from my office for the last 12 years. With lots of fun and entousiasm. Now its time to move to a bigger location and share and combine our workspace with other creative designers/stylists/ artists/fashionistas and co interior designers. I am looking for a butik/ lokal on the groundfloor , in downtown Stockholm, with lots of windows and possibility for clients to walk in and see what we are doing or showing. For example if we are with 6 people, we need about 120-180 square meters lokal , with an est. rent of about 4000 kr. per person per month. Amsterdam Living, will be in charge of the interiors and all the communal services. ie. opy machine , kitchen, cleaning service etc. If you think it's time to get out there and start working from a fun, creative and commercial space, or just want to have co-workers that inspire eachother. please contact me on the following; Andre Schievink Tel. 0733303636 or via my Houzz website or www.amsterdamliving.se andre.s@comhem.se info@amsterdamliving.se...

8 år sedanÄndrades senast: 8 år sedanjskz-there is no rule that one must need windows to have banquette seating. It may be ideal or most pictured that way but it can still work. Here are a couple pics I found with banquette seating on no window walls. If you will allow yourself to be a bit creative this could be an adorable nook area;)

8 år sedanThis is some stuff I have to work with. Some of it my kids made. Budget is not high so would like to work with some existing stuff. Had our house painted so everything is off the walls and I bought some more a while ago. Just don't know where to put things on huge blank walls (if that will work). Will respond more in a while to other comments. Thanks for all your help!

8 år sedanIf I do something like a gallery on the biggest wall then what do I do to the other wall? Also mirrors, how do I work them in and should I? I had a decorator over recently who told me mirrors should serve a purpose and not just be used as art. Also, would people want a mirror facing them at the table?
One factor to consider if I would get banquet seating is the light is centered in the room.
These are very large windows. They are 8 ft wide. I had some gray curtains hung to the ceiling (8ft ceilings) in there before it was painted and I thought it didn't look right. The door looked out of proportion. curtains overpowered room. Next to the door on the other side is an identical 8 ft wide window and I had the same curtains hung to the ceiling on that side as well. I feel like whatever I do on one side I have to do to the other. I think I like minimalism (at least in that room) for window treatments since it's a small room. eberdebz, Would bamboo shades (in brown or natural) look good? Were you talking about getting white? How many would I need to get? One for each segment or one large 8 ft piece? My place is secluded/wooded but I do want something on the windows.
This is the angle I haven't posted and it shows the light and how it's in the center of the room. (currently being used as kids craft room) That sideboard was an impulse buy. I don't really care for the style of it but will work with it for a while. Second picture shows both windows and flow of house somewhat. The room on the other side of the door is a front sitting room (small living room). This is a colonial style house built in 1994 so lots of little, compartmentalized rooms.

8 år sedanÄndrades senast: 8 år sedanTo me it looks like there is a large void on that side of the room. First, I would put the chairs on the wall side, and the bench on the other side. Next, I think the right chandelier would help fill in the void. It can also act as a work of art on it's own. Then next, you can bring in a rug and artwork for the wall.
You can take a look at some of our lighting we make from blown and fused glass, to see if you see something you like. It's all custom made to fit your space perfectly.
