Make a house a home

Scandinavians have a natural talent for design and decor. When you come for a visit at a Scandinavian home, you will typically be greeted by candles outside the front door or along the path leading to the door, you will sometimes be offered slippers to wear when you enter (shoes are always removed), you will be given a drink and bite to eat (coffee and cake, or a meal perhaps), the candles around the house will be lit, often fresh flowers will adorn the interior, and your host will make sure your glass is full, that you do not lift a finger when it comes to cleaning up. All that is expected of you is to converse and enjoy yourself.
