My Scandinavian Home Blog

 

Read My Scandinavian Home Blog and get inspired on how to enrich your home and life with Scandinavian design and hygge. Discover other Scandinavian and Nordic lifestyle concepts such as lagom, Fika, and lykke. Read about what caters for a happy home and the connections between design and wellbeing. In addition, this is where you’ll find Norlii spoilers and sneek peaks. My point of departure for most posts is my Scandinavian home, close to Copenhagen in Denmark. But I also love to write about places, traditions and home design and style from the rest of the Nordic countries. Happy reading!
