How to give your space the Scandinavian touch!
Scandinavian living and lifestyle looks, come from the Northern European Countries- Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Following the mid-century modern aesthetic Scandinavian trend have clean and simple lines and focuses on minimalism and functionality.
The principle is to de-clutter the space with minimalistic furniture without sacrificing the beauty of it. Wood floors remain uncovered and lighter wooden tones are frequently found in Scandinavian homes.
Many Scandinavian colours rely on neutral colours, bright whites with pop black and tan. Monochrome colours are heavily used with shades of blush and gray blue with some play of hues with accent pieces.
Here are 6 tips that’ll give your space the Scandinavian touch it needs!
1. The monochromatic, the better! Many Scandinavian colours rely on neutral colours, bright whites with pop black and tan. Monochrome colours are heavily used with shades of blush and blue with some play of hues with accent pieces.
2. Bright is not a plight. Even in newly built contemporary spaces, modern, minimalist furniture is key: tulip chairs and swan chairs are warmed up by blonde-wood accents and rich cognac leather tones. Sculptural branches also help make the space feel more organic. The colours are muted tones of taupe, ivory, and sage.
3. It’s all about the contrast- High contrasts are the hallmark of Scandinavian interior design. If you have a space that has white walls, adding stark black sculptural furniture helps create a dramatic, impactful statement. Modern furniture also contrasts with the ornate architectural details that are common in the Scandinavian aesthetic.
4. Make it cosy. Scandinavian design is known for its minimalist flair that still always manages to feel cosy. For instance, a space with simple features, clean-lined furniture and muted gray tones, could easily feel cold and uninviting
5. Warm up! Warm wood tones and sepia hues are popular in Scandinavian interior design, as they are a way to make a space feel sunny and bright without using any bright colours
6. Get ACCENT-ric. When colour is used in Scandinavian interiors, it's often in small bursts or bright hues—think, fancy art gallery. For instance, you can bring a light and bright space to life with vibrant furniture pieces and muted hues to balance it out.
