A Scandinavian living style is characterised by an almost minimalist, sleek design in combination with warm, light colours and natural materials.

 

Keywords are: light and nature

The Scandinavian style, with its clean, pure shapes, graphic prints and cool colours, takes on a softer twist when complemented with beautiful pastels and organic textures.

Furniture

Less is more, the functionality of the furniture is paramount. Straight lines and simple design are used. The furniture and accessories are light in colour and material. A characteristic aspect of the furniture in the Scandinavian living style are the conical legs and the geometric decorations.

The colors

In this style of living, natural colours are mainly used. Examples of this are sand, clay, wood and stone. In combination with light soft greys and beige. This can be complemented by various white and pastel shades. 

Material use

A characteristic material within a Scandinavian living style is the use of light wood, this can be pine, beech, birch or ash wood. In addition to the use of the material wood, there are of course many other natural materials that are often used within this living style. Think of wool and cotton or loam and clay or leather and fur.

With a Scandinavian living style it is about creating a feeling, you want to create a piece of peace and quiet. Mix this with personal items that are important to you, this creates atmosphere in the room. Nature is an important source of inspiration for this living style, here the functionality and the minimalistic come back again.

Wall decoration within the Scandinavian living style

Within the Scandinavian style there are 2 sub-styles, the Botanical style and the Funky-Scandi.

The Botanical style again has natural influences in combination with the soft pastel shades.

Images from our Botanical Stories fit perfectly here. The Funky-Scandi style has more urban and modern influences. Images from the Fineline theme fit very well within this substyle.
