Why are houses in Sweden so cozy and atmospheric?

Lighting plays an important role in the interior. Correctly selected lamps complete the design of the house, they can divide the room into zones or visually change the geometry of the room. Proper lighting affects performance and our health, first of all, eye health. The special atmosphere of the house is also directly dependent on the lighting.

Recently, the Scandinavian style in the interior is gaining more and more popularity. This is understandable, because houses in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries are very cozy and comfortable. How do Swedes manage to create a homely atmosphere?

First of all, they love natural light and try to make the most of it. Since the sun is not so bright in the northern regions, the Swedes put panoramic windows and do not hang curtains. It should be noted that natural light is not only beautiful, but also economical, because you need to pay for electricity several times less.

In Swedish homes, you are unlikely to find cold lighting. The warm light is pleasing to the eye, so it relaxes and adds atmosphere to the home.

The Swedes avoid chandeliers because they provide diffused light, with the result that not all areas of the room are sufficiently lit. Instead of chandeliers, they buy floor lamps, lamps, and candles can often be found in houses. By the way, the second reason why Swedes do not use curtains is the danger of their fire from a candle flame.

It would seem that lighting insignificantly affects the perception of the interior of the house. However, this is not at all the case. We can see this in the example of Scandinavian houses, where a lot of attention is paid to light. What kind of home lighting do you prefer?
