Scandinavian décor is known for a modern, monochromatic flair, but what if you want to brighten up your space for the Spring season?
Introducing NorthHem’s top six looks for your Spring Scandinavian utopia:
1. Scandi-style Lemonade:

Bring the newly arrived sunshine inside. Brighten your day with a few well-placed rays of yellow in bright, smile-inducing shades.
2. Buds of Paradise:

Scandinavian décor calls for an abundance of greenery. Now, you can add a bloom or two to those greens and naturally scent your space with the luxurious blossoms growing right outside your window.
3. Pink Is In!

At least, as long as you follow the pastel rule. Soft, heavenly hues of coral and blush ease you into the space and have the added benefit of calming everyone who enters.
4. Bring it Back:

Dust off those geometric-patterned rugs to create strategic visual interest. Used sparingly this creates a more modern look than simple art pieces alone could ever hope for.
5. Mix ‘n Match:

Neutrals are a cornerstone of great Scandinavian style, but what would happen if you added a surprise pop of neon into the mix? Spring gets Sprung that’s what happens. Use this options sparingly to delight and inspire your guests.
6. Don’t Fix It!

Did you find that dresser on the side of the road? Great! (Sanitize it!), then add it into your Scandinavian décor for a Spring-time rustic touch that’s sure to add an element of depth to any space.
And there it is. The NorthHem’s top six ideas for Scandinavian Spring-time décor that’ll wreck happy havoc with your endorphins and bring the beautiful bloom of the outdoors – in.

Seen this image before?
It’s the intro pic for our revolutionary way of designing and delivering the furniture you want at the price and speed the other guys wish they could achieve.
How do we do it?
For starters, let me show you how the other guys get it wrong.

You see this long process? It stinks. It costs too much and takes too much time to get to your front door. More than that, because this process is so costly and time-senseless, you don’t get to choose what you get beyond their prefabricated items created months ago.
Here’s how Jason Agustina does things differently.

You see the difference?
We eliminate the waste of time and money.
But that’s not all we do. Remember that photo at the top of the page? Something about voting on what kind of furniture you get.
At Jason Agustina, we travel the world looking for the very best emerging designers. Then, we help them bring their dreams to life by curating their designs in our internationally reaching online store.
But, there’s a problem. There are so many brilliant designers that we can’t possible choose them all. So we’ve gone straight to the end-user. You!
You get to decide which designs we choose. That way, we get you the latest designs quickly and affordably. Not months after the trend has moved on (like some other guys).
Check out how popular this model has become. We’re so on the money with this idea, we’ve been featured like crazy.
Here’s a spread from Belle Magazine.

Lounge and Dining Chairs & Stools and Bar Stools:


Coffee, Dining & Side Tables:
