Do you want to apply an interior design that avoids stridency and finds the virtue of the middle ground? Embrace Lagom, one of the Nordic recipes for happiness that will help you create spaces that promote calm and stillness.
What is the Lagom philosophy?
Although initially applied to personal well-being, Lagom is based on the Swedish philosophy that pursues the right measure of things: eating without over-eating, working hard without burning out… In the best possible way and without wasting resources.
If we conceive the home as an extension of our personality, and we also contemplate the homeification of environments such as workspaces, it is not surprising that this trend expands organically to interior design.
Keys to Lagom interior design
These are the five questions you need to address when designing a Lagom interior:
- Sustainable minimalism, both economically and environmentally. Recycling elements and rejecting consumerism are the basis of the trend.
- Nature present to enhance the connection with the roots and the essence.
- Order as a reflection of calm.
- Purely functional furniture.
- Neutral and classic colours, coordinated and that do not take centre stage.

Now that we have studied the five characteristics that allow you to apply the Lagom philosophy in interior design, we recommend five other materials:
