Forward-thinking meets fairy-tale in Nordic countries, where folk tales, nature, sustainability and comfort are key when it comes to designing a home. The Norwegians, for example, have words that simply don’t translate exactly into English, but are crucial to the make-up of what a ‘home’ means to them; ‘peiskos’ essentially translates as “fireplace coziness, enjoying the warmth of sitting in front of a crackling fire”, while words such as ‘hrytte’ and ‘hryttenlin’ refer to the cabin culture that empties Nordic cities on Friday afternoons as people head to their country cottages. From bright and playful designs to wood-clad cabins with forest views, here are our favourites.
