The River - Pale Sand rug is a great addition to your living room. Nordic Knots

There's something about Swedish brand Nordic Knots' flagship store that amazes designers. Nestled in Stockholm, the interiors are highlighted by clean lines, uncluttered spaces, and minimalist touch. Visitors are easily drawn to an inviting ambiance to experience what 'hygge' is all about.

The space is a delicate canvas that defines Scandi essence that many try so hard to copy. A quick look exudes the combined influence of Arne Jacobsen, Alvar Aalto, and Hans J. Wegner, leaving interior designers and decorators in awe. But there's more to that.

The Big Buds – Red rug is proudly displayed in the showroom. Nordic Knots

As your gaze follows the grand marble staircase, the centrepiece—a large New Zealand wool rug designed by Giancarlo Valle—draws you in. The rug is rich and bold. Its red tones and interesting pattern lay in contrast to the cool marble, leading one's steps toward the ascending path.

And to keep the understated charm, the brand's artisanal curtains adorn the bare walls with a softness that makes the space glow.

From Humble Hems to Posh Soft Furnishings

Nordic Knots was founded in 2016 by Swedish trio Fabian Berglund, his wife Liza Laserow and his brother Felix. They combined their backgrounds in interior design, advertising and antiques to launch a humble startup that focused on selling hand-crafted rugs with a nordic aesthetic.

All rugs and textiles are designed in the company's Stockholm atelier and handmade by highly skilled and experienced weavers in India. It has also partnered with GoodWeave™ to ensure that it does not employ child labour.

Since then, they grew the business into a trusted brand that has become a staple of conversations among avid home decorates and the buzz among interior design circles.

Here are our top picks from Nordic Knots' collection.

Bouclé – Black/White
