lagom



lagom

Lagom is a Swedish word often translated as “just enough.”
Not too much.
Not too little.

In everyday life, it’s less about restraint and more about balance that doesn’t call attention to itself.
A portion that satisfies.
A room that feels settled, not styled.

There’s no sense of optimisation in it.
Nothing is improved by being pushed further.

Lagom lives comfortably in repetition.
What worked yesterday is likely to work again today.

Enough, here, isn’t a compromise.
It’s a quiet decision to stop where things already feel right.
