Embrace Scandi chic this fall: The vintage wood look will give your interior style a sense of ease!

The Scandinavian way of living and interior design are always an inspiration – particularly for us DIY fans – so the new “Lagom” lifestyle that is currently making its way over to us from Sweden is giving us great ideas for how to furnish our own homes. The trendy Swedish word “Lagom” means something along the lines of “not too much, not too little, but just the right amount.”

For us, during the fall and pre-Christmas period which is perfect for DIY projects, that means: With a lot of white and a natural wood look, we can add a touch of freshness, clarity and natural sense of ease to our rooms. How? With simple, warm wood in white – with decorative elements for all rooms using the d-c-fix® shabby wood decorative film.

Need more inspiration? No problem, as Scandi chic inspired by the new Swedish trend of “Lagom” works anywhere. For example, with a decorative board made of light wood in an authentic shabby chic wood look. Simply rest this board casually against the wall and use it as the basis for some beautiful decorative fall arrangements using fresh natural materials. Or as a family and friends picture wall featuring your snapshots from the year, all framed in black.

THE NEW SENSE OF EASE FOR ANY ROOM: JUST ADD “LAGOM” AND SOME FRESH WOOD ACCENTS

The Scandi vintage chic look is also perfect in the bedroom: With a wood-style headboard, you will feel like you are waking up in a charming cottage in Sweden – even on a Monday! And if you simply decorate a wall in your office area with decorative film in a shabby chic wood look, you will feel as relaxed as if you were at your vacation home in Sweden while working at your desk. In the kitchen, too, you can give your kitchen countertop or kitchen table a style update with shabby chic. Always fresh. Always comforting. Always inviting – that’s the charm of the wonderfully imperfect cottage style of the Swedish “Lagom” lifestyle philosophy.

And last but not least: Christmas is coming – and with it, no end of decorating possibilities! With a board nonchalantly placed against the wall in a white vintage wood look with red accessories and fresh fir sprigs, boxwood and mistletoe, you can magic up some fantastic decorations or unique advent calendars – entirely in keeping with the principles of “Lagom.”
