Have you ever think of what makes Scandinavian Design so lovely and widely shared? Well we can simply find an answer in Nature... True and unconditional love for nature, this is the main motif and concept behind Scandi design. You won’t see any other type of design affected by the environmental conditions that much. So what does it make so outstanding and unique?
Space and light
Nordicdesign
Scandinavians spend a lot of time outside in nature. But conditioned by rather strict climate specifications, it is not affordable for a very long period of the time. Long cold nights and lack of natural light is all what inspired Scandinavians to create a home environment compensating the climate conditions suggested by nature. That’s how we’ve got an interior with bright white and off-white colours which maximises space inside the area and wide, unobscured picture windows inviting maximum amount of the natural light in the room.
Simple minimalist forms

Nothing characterises Scandi design better than its three conceptual cornerstones: minimalism, functionalism and simplicity. Being home should feel cosy, calm and composure. What is a better place to be after a tiresome working day than uncluter, breathy area full of greenery and decor made of natural assets such as: leather, wood and hemp. Scandi design avoids bulky furniture to avoid clutter around the spaces and introduces minimalistic pieces of furnishing instead. Scandinavian furniture is extremely functional and uses a minimum of space not to feel fussy and bothering. Solid oak desks with spacious drawers, convertible coffee tables and warm colour textiled sofas create unique functional sets and add a touch of pure class to the interior design.

When it comes to the use of Scandi furniture the clean lines are a must. Tables, sofas, armchairs and other pieces of a beautiful Nordic decor should have smooth, rounded edges. Most of the furniture is covered by warm textiles and leather, have bright white or marvellous wooden tones and give an enchanting feel of being very close to nature.
Scandinavian Colour Palette

Because of its white, off-white and grey hues used for walls and wooden floors, Scandi inspired interiors are very easy for a variety of colours to blend in. The Nordic colour palette contains soft, monochrome colours, though it starts to be trendy to create pop-ups in the interior design with more vibrant colours such as yellow, green or blush pink.
Nature throughout the house

As it is all about nature, Scandinavian design is very greenery-friendly. With white and off-white backdrops and muted colours of natural materials such as wood and leather, some plants inside the scandi inspired home creates an astonishingly calm and airy environment. Plants are a perfect asset for decor with their emerald green and they are significantly refreshing for the air. Yes, inviting some more nature inside home is a pure Scandi.
