SCANDINAVIAN-STYLE

What makes the Scandinavian furniture style so popular and how it


developed.
Originating in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark, the Scandinavian furniture style
has become a very popular style in today’s apartments. The soft colours of the furniture
calm and create warmth in the interior.

Origin and Developmemt


The Scandinavian furniture style is characterized by the seasons in the north,
where the days in winter are very short. This results in the need to create warmth
and comfort in this wintry environment. Wood plays a significant role in
Scandinavian style. It is used for floors, walls, furniture, lighting and accessories.
But also natural fabrics create a feelgood atmosphere with their light shades in
the Skandi style.

Key characterstics of the Style


The style uses light wood such as birch, spruce or pine. The reason why it
developed this way is just because the Scandinavian winters are long and dark.
Through bright friendly colours and light, this style creates a lot of warmth. It
convinces with its simplicity and the friendly mostly pastel colours
Use of Colors
A pastel colour is any colour that has just enough white mixed into it to look pale
and soft while maintaining its colourful personality. The most common pale
colours we’ve seen this year are soft millennial pink, light azure, creamy mint,
and whimsy yellow.

Lighting Consideration
Natural light must be also complemented by modern lighting. Scandinavians rely
heavily on modern lighting to light up their interiors due to their shorter daylight
hours. The same principles of Scandinavian design apply to Scandinavian
lighting fixtures. Most Scandinavian modern lighting features a simple, neutral
white aesthetic and the same clean lines found in Scandinavian furniture and
homewares – therefore nothing too extravagant like crystal chandeliers here!

Wallpapers
Scandinavian is just as much a lifestyle as it is an interior design look. Known for
its beautiful simplicity, Scandinavian style incorporates whitewashed walls,
wooden floors, earthy tones and plenty of natural light. With both a minimalist and
folksy feel, this style has pleasing pastel palettes, clean lines-in both furniture and
architecture-and natural, raw elements. Scandinavian homes have a pure beauty,
and warmth of being lived in.

Furniture and Decor


Scandinavian furniture features fluid contours and minimalist aesthetic. The
Nordic design trend started in the mid-20th century and the movement promoted
the idea that modern furniture should be easily accessible to the general public.
Sofas and sectionals are characterized by a neutral colour palette, which allows
you to decorate with colourful pillows. Moulded plywood or transparent fiberglass
coffee tables are common options in the living room. The Scandinavian bedroom
often features very low-profile platform beds – it is common to omit the
headboard entirely. Hang some floating wall shelves to accessorize with your
memorabilia. A cornerstone of the dining room is a rustic or finished wood table
in minimalist form factor. Dining chairs will often be made of moulded plastic with
splayed wood legs or dark farmhouse chair to contrast with the dining table
