Nordic Room Makeover with a Minimalist Bookshelf

Welcome to our cozy Scandinavian minimalism makeover! šŸ”

After moving back to Helsinki, Finlandā€™s vibrant capital, from the countryside, weā€™ve embraced a simpler lifestyle in our small city apartment. In Nordic living style, weā€™re focusing on clean lines, natural materials, and creating a calm, functional space with a touch of warmth.

Our living room makeover reflects the principles of Scandinavian minimalismā€”simplicity, practicality, and beauty. We love blending new (Ikea) and old (second-hand), with classic Nordic design pieces (Artek) that bring a timeless aesthetic to our home.

Decluttering has been key in this journey, helping us to create a peaceful environment where every item has a purpose or holds meaning.

You'll also meet again our friendly cat, Kuro, a true part of our family and a fan of the cozy living room. šŸ¾

Weā€™re assembling bookshelves and trying to make thoughtful design choices, incorporating soft lighting, wooden elements, and cat-safe plantsā€”essential for those long, dark Nordic winters.

Minimalism isnā€™t about getting rid of everything but curating a home filled with items that enhance daily life. Itā€™s about being mindful of what we bring into our space, making it easier to maintain, clean, and enjoy the simple things like family time and the scent of fresh bread. šŸž

Join us as we create a Nordic-inspired, cozy minimalist space thatā€™s perfect for city living.

Let me know your thoughts, and share your ideas on how to bring a touch of Scandinavian simplicity to your home!
