What Is Scandinavian Interior Design?

Scandinavian design began in the early 20th century, mixing old and new styles from Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, and Norway. In the 1950s, Scandinavian interior design gained traction in the US and Canada. If you look closely, you can see where Scandi design intersects with mid-century modern design a lot having some common features. This style is simple and minimal, functional and accessible, craftsman yet affordable – that’s why it’s so popular among homeowners and designers.

What Are Scadinavian Style Colors And Materials?

A Scandinavian kitchen is usually done in monochromatic color schemes with black, white and grey plus some neutral and light wood stains. If that seems boring to you, you can go creative rocking various shades of grey, make a statement with a contrasting black and white kitchen or create a very clean and airy space of only white and light neutrals. Go for cool textures provided by wooden cabinetry, marble and stone backsplashes, concrete and wooden countertops, and your kitchen won’t look boring at all. You may also incorporate one or two bright accents, that is non-typical for a Nordic space but will give it a character and personalize it a lot.

What you need to achieve to get a truly Scandinavian look is that clean and airy Nordic feel that is so characteristic of such spaces. Skip too rustic and too vintage solutions – Scandinavian style means modern and retro. Scandinavian furniture, light fixtures, and other functional items should have a modern and striking look, while remaining simple and not overly ornate. Pay attention to hand-crafted furniture, which looks amazing with even the simplest designs. Incorporate light-stained wooden items showing your love to nature and giving a hygge feel to the space. Think of adding potted greenery to refresh and enliven the monochrome and go for some catchy chandelier or stool designs to add interest. Voila, your gorgeous Nordic space is ready!
