What is “typical Swedish” and who decides what’s typical and/or not? To answer those two questions you need to keep an open mind and have a deeper knowledge about the country as well as its culture and history.
Inherited from abroad or rooted in the Swedish history
Some of the Swedish traditions are inherited (or copied, if you wish) from other cultures, while others have deep roots in the Swedish history. The latter being what I consider as “typical Swedish”.
Present below as a photo gallery are some of the most known, liked and celebrated Swedish traditions.

Furniture, decor, curtains, plants, bed linnen, pillows… You name it, Ikea’s got it.
