"The beauty of Scandinavian design is that it’s incredibly versatile. The simple aesthetic means it can fit seamlessly with almost any style and era, while the sculptural, organic shape adds an element of drama to a room." - Brantmark -

Scandinavian interior design uses a blend of textures, contrasts, and soft hues to make sleek, modern furniture feel warm and inviting.

“High contrasts are the hallmark of Scandinavian interior design.”

The Scandinavian interior design is characterized by minimalism, simplicity, and functionality. It includes the use of natural materials, such as leather, wood, and hemp. Furthermore, Scandinavian interior design is often influenced by a connection to nature, which combines natural shapes, abstraction, and the use of natural elements.

The style was born in the Nordic countries and, because the winters are so long and dark, Scandinavian interiors are typically painted white to help keep spaces bright.

Most Scandinavian homes enjoy daylight only for as little as 7 hours a day which means that lighting plays a very important role. You won't find wall-to-wall carpeting, as hard-wood, natural or white floors help the space seem brighter. The used lights are very modern with an industrial design such as wall sconces and pendant lamps.

Most countries in the Scandinavian region have climates with extremely cold temperatures. Thus, the use of warm textiles is common for a Scandinavian home decor. These textiles can come in the form of throws, blankets, and carpets that are made from wool, sheepskins, or mohair.

The Scandinavian interior design is connected with a certain color palette that includes the hues of grays, whites, browns, and black. So, when decorating a Scandinavian living room, focus on the use of these neutral colors in order to create a clean and soothing effect to your Scandinavian home design but don’t shy away from adding pops of colors, such as fuchsia and sea greens. This can be done by adding natural elements in the form of indoor plants and fresh flowers to spice up the space and create a living element of color and beauty to the interior.

One of the most important aspects of the Scandinavian interior design is to keep the space clutter-free. The mantra “less is more” plays a huge role and must be followed to make your space look more visually appealing. Therefore, storage spaces must be organized smartly.

The iconic bright look is also achieved by letting in as much light as possible. In order not to block the light, window treatments must be kept to a bare minimum.

So, if you like unique and stylish pieces, clean and bright, this style can match perfectly with you. What do you think? Is this style something for you? Comment below.
