When you hear Scandinavian Style,think clean-lined, simple, and functional. Living with nearly 24-hour darkness for most of winter, Scandinavian interiors feature bright white on floors, fabrics, and walls for a pick-me-up. While, unpainted, light wood furniture that embraces the natural grain adds much-needed warmth to spaces. Sleek, utilitarian furniture without much embellishment is a mainstay in this minimalist style.
Environmentally-conscious Scandinavian decor showcases high-quality, long-lasting materials like stainless steel, wool, cotton, wood, and ceramics. Stick to a pale colour palette (even this yellow sofa works) with bright pops of graphic patterns to bring colour to the space.
