Our cultural obsession with all things Scandi is nothing new — for several years now, the northern European region has held reign as the arbiter of all things good taste. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, their penchant for laid-back minimalism extends beyond fashion and interiors. In their gardens, too, they've figured out exactly how to create that calming simplicity we all seem to be craving.
While we have previously turned to the Mediterranean or Japan for the most inspiring modern garden ideas, it seems as though we have been missing a trick. As the Norwegian garden designer Annika Zetterman so clearly proves in her gorgeous projects, Scandinavian design is ripe with inspiration for the plucking. And it just so happens that they're far better suited to the British climate than ideas from further afield.
