Scandi Style

Home Inspiration by teNeues goes into the next round and has never been more relevant. After all, when the world around us is in shambles, a home with a feel-good vibe is essential. For some, a pared-down aesthetic that exudes a pleasant homeliness may be the right path to well-deserved ease; for others, a cheerful riot of colour is a fitting counterpart to the monochromatic daily grind. Two very different approaches that nevertheless pursue the same goal: to conjure up a real retreat from a simple living space.

Whether Hygge or Lagom, the Scandinavians manage the balancing act between inviting cosiness and inspiring modernity without precedent. Almost puristic in appearance, a combination of natural materials such as wood, pampas grass, or ceramics and clean lines create an unobtrusive understatement. This turns a world of furnishings into an attitude to life that promises more balance in all situations, and this is what people outside Scandinavia are striving for.

In the usual teNeues quality with a high-quality layout, large-format images, and exciting content, the new illustrated books in the freshly launched series now skilfully set the scene for two further interior trends, elegantly acting as decorative eye-catching pieces themselves. A practical index, which offers support in the search for brands and manufacturers, as well as fascinating rooms for re-styling, make the books true inspirational treasures for every interior enthusiast.
