"Everything white." White is my favorite color and this is a dream come true. I like a simple, clean, organized space with serene colors.

Je suis de + en + attirée par la Scandinavie et tout ce qui touche à la Scandinavie en général, le style scandinave, la déco, l'architecture, la mode, la façon de vivre, les paysages, tout ! J'adore ! Cet été je suis allée en Norvège et j'ai adoré ! 😍❤ J'ai déjà envie d'y retourner ! 🤞 Le style scandinave en déco est très joli, cela paraît facile car c'est très simple et je pense qu'en réalité ça ne l'est pas du tout, car c'est tout un art de savoir doser avec brio.

So true. I will add that a lot of our decor and furniture are handed down from generations before us. I think all Norwegian homes have a memorabilia, like a rosepainted trunk, a painting or even a diningroom set. Growing up I didnt think much of it, it was before the term Scandinavian style. I used to have those natural pine wooden floors, and have spent hours on my knees scrubbing the kitchen floor, to make it look blond and spotless. Today I have white oiled oak floors, so much easier to clean 🙂

Laminate flooring comes from Scandinavia. In 1881, before laminate flooring ever existed, a company called Stensmölla Kemiska Tekniska Industri (the parent company to Pergo and Perstorp) began refining beech wood in Sweden. The process they used grew very popular. It's very popular in Scandinavian homes and was in all the guest homes we stayed in. I like hard wood better but Pergo and other Scandinavian brands of Laminate and vinyl are popular throughout Scandinavia so the look is very achievable. Keeping the décor simple and clean is more important.

Scandinavians are the masters of laminate wood fabrication. The best example is the laminate wood cross country ski. It was a major innovation in that it allowed for a lightweight ski which maintained a precise camber, which is essential for a good ski. I do remember the skis of the 60-70s that were all wood, but composed of over 30 pieces of wood glued together. I still have one and it is amazing how 60 years later the glue is intact. I think there is also the IKEA Poäng chair which emblematic of this construction method.

But bringing in natural materials such as light colored linen bedding and throws, and keeping focusing on "less noise" would be a great start! I think we quite like IKEA, at least most of us :) I think it is a love/hate relationship since we're not used to big malls, and going to IKEA was always a necessity as a child, but I remember my parents not liking the experience. These days I think older people especially think it is a bit too generic, and not of great quality. However, because of cost many people still choose it.

I was never a fan of white walls & light wood until this trend took hold & people did some interesting things with it. I think minimalism is nice as you get older & don't have the energy or as much health to take extra care of all the extravagances. I grew up in a northern region as well & white walls everywhere got boring. I prefer the deeper, autumnal, cozy colors up north compared to the bright white. Bright white makes so much more sense in a southern region if you spend a lot of time going between indoors & outdoors because the sun is so much more intense & it can be jarring going from a dark interior to an extremely sunny area, so having ehite walls & light to medium wood tones makes a lot more sense - as well as throwing some color in there as well to let people know that you have a soul. ^^;

In Canada I have been shocked at how much STUFF renters have including luxury items like televisions & all kinds of music, games etc. And pets! But for emergencies they don't have several months of rent set aside or dental money etc. And when they have to move...stuff ends up in the trash cus they can't even afford a moving company. And often leave behind sneaky damage from posters etc that they attached to the walls, doors. And filthy ovens, fridges etc. My mother always said "buy things ONCE & take care of them so that you can buy a nice well built home, & a cottage or little farm to DIY to make life worth living"

I agree! Not sure why everyone is getting pets. I want to make a video on that too!
