There is a new lifestyle trend called Lagom (pronounced “lar-gohm”), that comes from Sweden and has been conquering more and more fans.
The whole Lagom philosophy is explained in a book, “Lagom: The Swedish Art of Living a Balanced, Happy Life”, by British Niki Brantmark. Since Brantmark visited Sweden for the first time, she fell in love, not only with her now-husband but also with their lifestyle. She moved 13 years ago from London to Sweden. And she founded the award-winning design blog “My Scandinavian Home”. Additionally, she also wrote two books before “Lagom”. Her Instagram, filled with beautiful home decor photos, has more than 200k followers.
What does Lagom mean?

And you can apply the Lagom philosophy in every aspect of your life; in your family life, at work or leisure and even when decorating your home or cooking.
Brantmark explains in her easy-to-read book how to make small changes in your life. Following her guide, you can reach this balance that will bring you greater happiness.
