A Nordic Style Nautical Seaside Cottage

You would imagine that people who live in nordic climates have rustic dark wood floors and decorate with warm colors and rich textures, to make their nests extra cozy. Not so much.

Nordic decor styles are more influenced by the long and dark winters than the crisp temperatures outside. Rooms are bright, light and uncluttered, with floors often painted white. Here is such an example. A casual nautical seaside cottage in Newfoundland, Canada.
