Welcome to Scandi Week—Apartment Therapy's seven-day focus on all-things Scandinavia (often defined as the countries of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway). Sometimes it seems like the whole world is obsessed with trying to copy this corner of the globe, from its timeless style aesthetic to its now-famous coziness rituals. For the next week, we'll take a look at all of it—cleaning, pop culture, and of course tons of eye-popping design inspiration. Pull up a blanket and get hygge with us.
Every few years it seems like a new design style takes over the public consciousness and reigns supreme for a short time. We've seen multiple design genres, from rustic farmhouse to mid-century modern to eclectic bohemian, rise to prominence, but none of them seem to have the same staying power as Scandinavian style. That's not to say those other designs have fallen out of favor, there's something about Scandi decor that people can't get enough of. And we're not just talking about IKEA's continued popularity either.
So, to celebrate the influential style, we at Apartment Therapy are dedicating the next week to exploring everything Scandinavia has to offer. We're bringing you everything from the quintessential furniture designs you need to know, to lifestyle terms that go beyond hygge, to a deep dive into what it's like to own a home in a Scandinavian country, and plenty of inspiring House Tours.
But first, let's take a look at the basics of Scandinavian design so we can all start Scandi Week on the same foot.
