| Simple living. In Larsson's living room, knickknacks are kept to a minimum. Large furniture is white, with color coming from the vibrant aqua wall and citrus-colored cushions. Many Scandinavian homes seem to follow this general guideline of keeping main furnishings white (or pale neutral) and switching up the accents seasonally. In winter, bring in extra candles, warm knits and fairy lights. Private Comment

| Keep organized in tight spaces. Keeping things neat and organized is definitely part of the Scandinavian aesthetic. Josina Bergsøe's home in Denmark is a great example of using even the tightest space to squeeze in extra storage. If you have a challenging space like a sloped ceiling or tiny alcove beneath the stairs, consider having a pro install shelves or cabinets. It often costs less than you might think, and the improved use of space is worth it. Private Comment
