How can we incorporate Scandinavian style into our tiny D.C. apartments?
“The easiest way is with paint! Lighten up your dark walls — even your ceilings — with gray or light gray [paint]. Scandinavian style is all about light — finding ways to lighten up your space is key. Replace curtains and window treatments to let in more light. To lighten up dark floors, try a sisal rug. Change your upholstery, and focus on one piece at a time. I have built my collection over years!

Also, I am all for mixing things for a personal effect— all furniture looks better when it is mixed with other pieces. Take the best from each look that you love and make it yours. Finally, don’t overdo it – choose timelessness over trends.”
