NORDIC DESIGN

Scandinavian design is characterized by minimalism, simplicity and functionality. Although the Scandinavian design has been around since the 1950s, it still remains a popular trend in interior design today.

Scandinavian design is often influenced by a connection to nature, which combines natural shapes, abstraction and the use of natural elements.

Many Scandinavian colors rely heavily on neutrals, most notably, bright whites with pops of black and tan. That’s not to say the style is completely devoid of color though, just that the overall spaces tend to be monochromatic, with hues coming into play as accent pieces.

Scandinavians also deeply value nature and spending time outdoors, something that is reflected in this style. Wood floors tend to remain uncovered and lighter wooden tones are frequently found in Scandinavian homes. And, of course, live plants are a popular choice when it comes to really bringing the outdoors in.
