Have you heard of it? It's a really great go to source for color inspiration, tools, and practical advice provided by a team of design bloggers.

Not so much. Nordic decor styles are more influenced by the long and dark winters than the crisp temperatures outside. Rooms are bright, light and uncluttered, with floors often painted white.
