If you feel that you need space, then Sweden is for you. With a population of only 9 million and a land area of 174,000 square miles there is plenty of space for everyone! This is a place where you can really relax, breath deeply and connect with nature. On top of that the food is fantastic, the people friendly and the streets are clean.
Sweden is famous for its art, craft and design, from Gustavian hand made furniture to Ikea's flat pack! Much inspiration is taken from nature as most Swedes are nature lovers. Swedish design is sleek, simple and elegant and you will find very good quality interior design items, textiles, jewellery etc. in the shops.
