If you love hygge and monochrome, if you enjoy simple decor and don’t like everything excessive, Scandinavian style is the answer! Scandinavian decor is laconic and airy, it’s monochromatic and cozy, it’s filled with light even if the day isn’t sunny. Want to create such beauty in your home? I have some ideas to inspire you!
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, contemporary or minimalist decor, and vintage (or better retro) can be added with pendant lamps or chairs, and rustic touches are better to be limited to wooden beams or baskets for storage. 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!
