Being happy is a very individual feeling. However, there are some things that are central to our happiness and seem to work the same for all people, regardless of one another.
The most important thing is definitely the people around us who give us joy and support when we ourselves are not feeling particularly well.
But we also need a comfortable home where we can retreat and recharge our batteries.
In times of instability and upheaval, our own home is becoming more and more important and we long for natural and honest materials such as wool, real wood, stone, ceramics, felt, copper or other non-ferrous metals and earthy colors.
It is precisely this atmosphere that the Scandinavian style embodies with its wonderful materials that take us on a journey and give us an image of sensuality and tactile and visual warmth.
Much of what was considered marginal until recently is now an absolute must-have and is spread like wildfire through social media.
Blankets are being put over the sofa again, and there are imprecise ceramic vases on our window sills, with the glaze running down irregularly in drip-like streams.
Mixtures of different materials are welcome and even grandmother's dusty plants or enamelled dishes are finding their way back into our living rooms and kitchens.
Textile patterns are knitted and woven, which create an eclectic and relaxed atmosphere. Today, stylistic rules are no longer so relevant and are perceived more as recommendations.
Things can finally be thrown together as long as they promise an emotional value and can be stringently integrated into our existing collections of objects, what we call our home.
These different materials give us a sense of security and represent warmth and stability. The home becomes a personal cocoon in which we increase our energy levels and stay away from the world, only to be charged with new energy to change the world...
Today we have more options in our own homes. Having is finally no longer as important as being. Objects with connections make us feel good and, thankfully, status symbols are taking a back seat.
Increase your well-being at home
You don't always need a lot of new things to turn an apartment into your home. Coordinated furniture and accessories to suit your taste, decorated with a few personal treasures from your past, can make all the difference. Good luck!
