In the heart of Scandinavia, the book "Lagom: The Swedish Art of Living a Balanced, Happy Life" takes readers on a captivating tour of homes that embody the Swedish philosophy of "lagom" – a word that translates to "just the right amount." This philosophy encourages moderation, balance, and contentment, offering a blueprint for a more harmonious and mindful life.
Published by HarperCollins, the book features a diverse range of homes, including a cosy Stockholm flat bathed in tones of pink, ochre, and green, and a home belonging to a Swedish artist. The book's cover photo credits include Niki Brantmark / My Scandinavian Home, Jordam Sanchez/Unsplash, and Gaelle Marcel/Unsplash, showcasing the book's aesthetic appeal.
For those interested in gaining additional insights, the book's Instagram stories can be found under the handle "Trevlig kväll!" The homes featured in the book extend beyond Sweden's borders, offering a glimpse into various living spaces that embody the lagom lifestyle.
One such home is the Centrepoint, which showcases a Boho style, emphasizing plants, books, and wall art. However, the book does not delve into the personal lives of the homeowners. Instead, it focuses on the homes' ambiance and the Swedish lifestyle they represent.
Petra Börner, the author of the US and Canadian version of the book, does not reside in any of the homes featured in the book. Despite this, her writing offers a compelling exploration of how adopting lagom can help individuals slow down, recharge, and discover happiness in balanced living.
In essence, "Lagom: The Swedish Art of Living a Balanced, Happy Life" offers a blueprint for a lifestyle centered on thoughtful choices and a sustainable pace of life, promoting wellness through moderation and mindfulness rather than extremes or overindulgence. It's a journey worth taking for anyone seeking a more balanced, content, and mindful life.
Fashion-and-beauty enthusiasts might find inspiration in the homes' decor, as they are adorned with stylish, minimalist pieces that harmonize with the Scandinavian ambiance. Home-and-garden enthusiasts, too, will appreciate the book's exploration of various living spaces that embody the lagom lifestyle, providing a wealth of ideas for creating a balanced and mindful home.
