What are /r/ScandinavianInterior's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You could make one! The structure looks fairly simple to replicate if you have access to the wood/tools. You can get similar legs on amazon (I've used these on a table)

I have about 20 plants in the apartment, so I'm honestly not sure why none have made it to this corner lol. Good point though! And the monitor looks funny because there's a laptop to the left. So when it's flipped up, the composition is basically centered.

The chair is a Marcel Bruer Cesca (thrifted for $40). The table is a Zinus Jen Dining Table from Amazon

My first complaint is that they way your store spells its name it sounds like you're wanting people to pronounce it "Who-Gah", when that is not really how it is pronounced - it is just how a lot of English speakers incorrectly pronounce it (or try to spell it phonetically). It is close, but it isn't right. If you want to hear it pronounced properly, go to this site, select "Danish" as the language and type "hygge" into the box. You should be able to distinguish the difference.

That's a minor bitch, but there it is.

Two: We here in Denmark use a lot of candles, but the style is much different than the ones that you're selling. While any candle can give off a distinct sense of hygge, I think that the aesthetics of your offerings isn't reflective of what I have seen here.

Three: As far as pillows and blankets go, unless you're going to go with a traditional Scandinavian / Nordic style that stands out, what you're selling is just plain old pillows and cushions. To be fair, that's what you'll find in most homes - but when someone looks at them they don't stand out as Scandinavian at all.

tl;dr. Nothing stands out to be as being very Scandinavian.

These complaints aside I like the concept of what you're doing and wish you well with it, and I hope I was of some help.

TL;DR: In terms of aesthetics I like simple trim, clean lines, and an emphasis on utility and the raw materials that went into building the furniture and home. This generally drops me into MCM and Scandinavian styles for furniture and industrial, exposed, and untreated styles for the bones of the home.

I like my seating to be firmer and simpler than most. This type of seating will keep you cooler in the summer and you can just grab a blanket or sweater in the winter to warm up. My dining/game table seats are ordinary lab stools, the type you can get in bulk for schools and actual labs. They're just grey painted steel and a linoleum seat riveted to the steel. My desk chair is one of those stools with a steel backrest. My two couches are firm IKEA couches (Karlstad and Ypperlig) that don't try to consume you when you sit in them. My girlfriend brought an accent chair from Amazon with her when we moved in together and it's my favorite thing to sit in - firm and supportive.

My three tables are all homemade using the extremely simple method of taking a wood product that wasn't a tabletop (such as a small door or cable spool side) and drilling/screwing hairpin legs into them. The company who makes the hairpin legs do great work and I love that they're based just a few hours from me. I chose to make my own tables because it's the simplest piece of furniture to build and most good looking tables on the market are incredibly overpriced.

Amazon.

$170 for 4 so it's about $42 each chair. They have multiple colors in stock as well. I have one of these they're not bad. Obviously not as good as original eames quality but they'll hold up if don't mistreat them, keep an eye on the bolts and just clean them. I've had mine for a while and I use it everyday as a desk chair.

This

Pacific Natural at Home by Jenni Kayne. It's California style, but minimal using harwoods and soft textures, muted palettes...it definitely overlaps into Scandinavian interiors.

ETA: that wood be hardwoods*

I've done this one 3 times now! You can customize your desk pad. It took a little over a week to come in, but worth it.

there's a Scandinavian magazine called "Residence" (maybe only available overseas?) which once a year puts out a publication called "My Residence" available on Amazon: My Residence. It's a really nice book to peruse through.

Consider a platform bed instead. Minimalist, sleek, easy to transport. I own this bed frame ($113 for queen/full), and it's very solid. Headboards are overrated, in my opinion, but you can certainly buy a headboard separately.

IKEA has some okay stuff, but it's not the best place for everything.

As for placement, ideally a bed should have open space on both sides of the bed. Consider putting it head first against a wall.

I am looking at Phillips SceneSwitch. Phillips Hue is VERY expensive. I am in India - so not too sure about the availability of SceneSwitch. Here's the amazon link: https://www.amazon.in/Philips-464867-Equivalent-SceneSwitch-Daylight/dp/B01LOSEW32

Have you guys used these? What do you think?
