What is a Scandinavian interior?

A Scandinavian interior is a minimalist style of living that comes from the countries of Scandinavia: Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. You often see designer furniture that combines functionality and aesthetics, focusing on simplicity and space.

Characteristics of a Scandinavian interior

• Scandinavian interiors are often recognized by the use of neutral and light colors such as white, beige, gray and pastel shades. These colors create a sense of space and allow natural light to shine through.
• Less is more in a Scandinavian interior. Superfluous decoration is omitted, and the focus is on essential pieces of furniture and accessories that have a function and also look beautiful.
• Wood is an essential material in Scandinavian design. It is used for furniture, flooring and accessories. Light-colored wood, such as birch and pine, predominates, contributing to the light and natural look.
• Furniture in Scandinavian interiors has a minimalist and functional design. Clean lines and slim shapes are typical. Comfortable sofas, dining tables and storage solutions fit perfectly within this style.
• Textiles play an important role in creating warmth and comfort. Think soft pillows, warm blankets and wool rugs.

How to Create a Scandinavian Interior.
