Lagom




I just learned a new word for balance: Lagom. This is the Swedish term for 'not too much, not too little: just right'. I like it and I think home design falls well into the spirit of this word. I love it when I walk into a space that has a sense of lagom, that is, a sense that the right balance of color, texture, shape and emotion are all working together.
