If you haven’t yet heard the word Lagom dropped casually in conversations about home design, get ready.

The less-is-more philosophy that has its roots in Sweden is booming in popularity in the U.S.

Posts about Lagom increased nearly 1,000 percent on Pinterest over the last year, making it one of the visual discovery engine's top home design trends for 2018.

Lagom is a Swedish word that is loosely translated as meaning “not too much and not too little – just right.”

It has come to define a lifestyle that is all about balance: Not staying at the office too late or leaving too early, not partying too hard but enough to enjoy life, for example.

When it comes to your home, Lagom is about finding that same balance: Decluttering, but not to the point that you feel pressured to throw things away.

Niki Brantmark, a mother of three who lives in Skåne, Sweden, literally wrote the book on Lagom: "Lagom: Not Too Little, Not Too Much: The Swedish Art of Living a Balanced, Happy Life."

Brantmark moved to Sweden from London 14 years ago and said she found herself amazed at the different pace of life.

"In Sweden, I was walking on the street, overtaking everyone on the road," she told "GMA." "I finally realized, they just take their time."

She added, "They’re in another gear. They take the time to do things right in an uncomplicated way and everything is very balanced."

Brantmark also noticed that every home she visited in Sweden was more beautiful than the last.

"They spend a lot of time focused on creating beautiful homes," she said. "They focus on creating an oasis at home. It's one thing you can control and a safe haven just for you when you come home each day."

The focus pays off, according to Brantmark.

"I travel a lot and when I get back [to Sweden] it’s like, ‘Ahhhh,'" she said. "Having moved from London to here, I’ve noticed over time I’ve felt happier as a person, just calmer and happier."
