We Minnesotans are known for being nice. Many of us also like to think that we’re approachable, comfortable to be around, somewhat practical, and stylish but not overboard.
When it comes to our homes, especially the rooms where we spend a good portion of our time, we want them to be that way too. Approachable and comfortable. Family friendly, and not too stuffy or overdone.
This look and feel is what we’ve defined at Schneiderman’s as Minnesota Casual.
