House of Style

You’ll never admit to singing along to ABBA as you sat in the back of a Volvo wagon back in the day, but the very experience fueled your appreciation for most things Swedish. It wouldn’t take a Freudian to figure out the origins of your soft spot for leggy blondes named Inga.

[hus] (Swedish for house) brings your affection for Scandinavia to a mature standpoint. The gleaming white floors and unfinished wooden ceilings are the essence of minimalist Norse chic alone, but the merchandise within allows you to “Sweden up” at home.

Swedish fashion is beyond hot right now (Nudie Jeans, anyone?) and [hus] offers an outstanding selection of Filippa K and Tiger of Sweden, among other brands. With the frigid wind chill outside, invest in a fashionable overcoat or faux fur lined leather sneakers designed by those who know about dressing for cold weather.

Functionality and sleek lines define Scandinavian home design, so grab silver bar and kitchen accessories from Danish brands Rosendahl, erik bagger, and Stelton to make your pad look like the dining room of the Modern.

After all, hot women like Inga are always turned on by a sharply decorated home.
