What makes a house into a home? A home is where your family feels secure, comfortable, and cared for. Many design and wellness concepts nowadays can help you create ideal spaces that improve your happiness and mood. Here are some from other parts of the world that you can use for your next interior remodeling project.
Wabi-Sabi
Many designers adopt the concept of Wabi-Sabi. It celebrates the imperfect and flawed beauty of nature. Remodelers implement this by using unique materials and handmade pottery and incorporating the lack of symmetry and odd numbers into the design.
Cwtch
In Welsh, “cwtch” means to cuddle, which is a comforting prospect. Designers use cwtch to create a cozy, hot-chocolate-during-winter interior vibe by using sprawling, comfortable couches with several pillows near the fireplace. Cwtch’s ideal space creates a great sense of good health.
Lagom
Scandinavia’s lagom concentrates on a “just right” approach to design in a way that’s similar to minimalism. The design idea and lifestyle perspective focused on the need reduces the clutter in the spaces and give them a crisp and comfortable look. You can achieve this design concept by adding plants indoors, removing unnecessary items, creating spaces for conversations, and adding comfortable furniture.
Friluftsliv
Friluftsliv is Norwegian for free-air life or open-air living, which describes the joy and contentment of living outdoors. The idea encourages socializing physical activity and outdoor dining. Designers achieve friluftsliv by customizing the deck for outdoor dining and creating an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, barbecue station, and more. When getting a kitchen estimate for this type of design concept, let the contractor know the specific features you want to be added to your space.
Hygge
Hygge is a mindset and design principle that came from months of staying in due to long and dark winters in Denmark. It focuses on building cozy environments that feel like you have a hot chocolate or coffee cup. You can incorporate hygge into your interior by adding soft cushions and large knotted bed blankets. You should also use a neutral color scheme and bright lighting.
Niksen
Niksen is a Dutch idea of unplugging, daydreaming, and getting bored. You can achieve a niksen-inspired interior by placing comfortable seating and pillows near windows to encourage staring at the horizon and relaxing. All charging stations, television, and media should be in another space.
