About Us
Welcome to The Nordic Design Company! We hope to inspire you to take steps towards a more beautiful home. We believe that just as an attractive home will make you feel happier, it should also make your life easier. That inspiration is why our designs are focused on functionality as well as beauty, creating home spaces that you will love to live in.
We were both born and raised in Sweden, where we developed an appreciation for light and airy designs with crisp, clean lines. Our long love of design led us to pursue a career as designers. We are currently enrolled at the Copenhagen School of Interior Design, living our dream.
We are now living in South Florida, where we are surrounded by brand new beautiful homes as well as older homes that have a more dated feel. We are both new homeowners and enjoy the challenge of giving older homes a fresh new feel. Sharing fresh, practical home designs that families can live in is our passion. Our goal is to help every family have a beautiful, functional home where they can joyfully live and grow.
Talking to homeowners, we discovered that many do not know where to start in order to give their home a makeover. Others had a vision of what they wanted for their home but still needed some assistance bringing their ideas to life. We knew we could help these families by creating home designs that meet their specific needs, with customized interior design services to fit everyone’s time schedule and budget.
We are a family company. We both answer to our own little “bosses” so don’t be surprised if you meet one of them at the office. Being parents has helped us grow as designers, because the experience has given us a great understanding of how real families live. This knowledge informs every aspect of our designs.
It also drives our determination to provide a variety of interior design services. We understand how important functional design is for families, and we are familiar with the challenges that busy family schedules can create. We wanted a way to provide quality interior design services for people with even the most hectic schedules or restrictive budgets.
Offering e-design interior decorating services as well as full service interior design consultations seemed like the perfect solution. It enables us to provide homeowners with the exact degree of interior design assistance needed, at a price everyone could afford. By simplifying the design process and making it less intimidating, we aim to make beautiful design accessible to everyone, on any budget.
We believe that blending practical solutions with beautiful style is the key to designing livable, attractive homes. Our philosophy is to furnish for a family, not around it. You can see this belief reflected in our practical space plans. We create inviting rooms that feature furniture, material, and accessory selections that enhance functionality while creating an attractive living space. We look forward to helping you decorate your home.
