Here are 5 tips to create a Scandinavian-style interior:

1. Use Neutral Colors: The Scandinavian color palette is typically made up of neutral shades such as white, gray, and beige, with occasional pops of bold color.Our SKYLAR Sofa is a great choice for those looking to incorporate the Scandinavian style into their home. This modular sofa features a feather-filled cushion for extra comfort and a beige fabric that adds a soft and plush feel to the space. The neutral colour of the sofa is perfect for creating a calming atmosphere, while its modular design allows it to be easily rearranged to accommodate different needs. The Skylar Sofa is sure to bring style and comfort to any room, making it a great choice for any home.

2. Embrace Natural Light: Large windows and light-filled rooms are a key feature of Scandinavian design, so consider ways to maximize natural light in your home. Embracing natural light is an essential part of achieving the Scandinavian style. Incorporating large windows is essential, as it allows natural light to flood the space and create a bright, airy atmosphere. Additionally, you can use sheer, light-coloured curtains to filter in natural light and soften the space, without blocking out too much of the sun’s rays. Mirrors can also be used to reflect light and create the illusion of a larger space. Finally, consider painting your walls in a light colour to help create a bright, cheerful atmosphere. By embracing natural light, you can create a space that is warm and inviting, while still capturing the essence of Scandinavian design.

3. Choose Simple Furniture: Furniture with clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic is important in the Scandinavian style. Opt for pieces made from natural materials such as wood, leather, and linen.

   When it comes to Scandinavian-style furniture, choosing pieces with simple and clean lines is key. Look for items that feature a minimalist aesthetic, with an emphasis on functionality. Natural materials such as wood, leather, and linen are ideal for this style, as they add a warm, organic touch to the space. Additionally, these materials are often durable and easy to maintain, making them a great choice for high-traffic areas. Be sure to select pieces that aren’t overly ornate or busy, as this will detract from the overall look. Finally, keep in mind that the furniture should complement the other elements of the room and work together to create a cohesive, unified space.

4. Add Textures: To bring depth and interest to a room, incorporate different textures such as wool rugs, linen curtains, and wooden accents. A great choice for a Scandinavian-style home is these abstract wool-like rugs. Our BOHEM and SLASH rug feature an abstract pattern design in a multi-colour palette, making it an ideal choice for adding a touch of personality to the space.

Additionally, rugs are great for adding texture to a space, as they can be layered over other materials such as wood or tile.

5. Use Plants: Adding indoor plants can bring a touch of nature into your home, which is a core aspect of the Scandinavian style. Place potted plants on windowsills or use hanging planters to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

Adding plants to a Scandinavian-style home is a great way to bring a touch of nature indoors. Artificial plants are an excellent choice for those who want to add vibrant colour to the space without the hassle of maintenance. Artificial plants come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they look just as lifelike as the real thing. They can be placed on windowsills or hung from the ceiling in planters to create a relaxed atmosphere. Plus, they never need to be watered or pruned, which makes them a great choice for busy households.
