On Trend: Up-and-Coming Minimalist Swedish Accessories
Upward-reaching arms worked into these designs make for home decor that's modern but inviting
Sometimes modern designs look very stark, making it hard for some of us to want to add them to our homes. Let's be honest — I want my home to be comfortable and inviting, and minimalism rarely focuses on that goal.
But have no fear. Adding minimalist accessories is an easy way to bring some modernity into the mix. These Swedish designs have both ends covered: They're both modern and inviting. Take a look at how each product uses the simple concept of outstretched arms to bring some humanity to their very simple forms. I find these designs uplifting and comforting, too.
