Scandinavian design
Emerging in the 1950s alongside the modernist movement in Europe and America, the Scandinavian modern style prioritized democratic, affordable and stylish furniture and interiors. Clean lines, functional furnishings, and a neutral palette were hallmarks of the modernist style throughout.
In Scandinavia, the emphasis is on design that supports the home and a healthy lifestyle – everything designed is created to support this notion. Ergonomics is a hallmark of Scandinavian furniture design, combining comfort and roominess with a modern style. Scandinavian design is also about the materials used, and ensuring they are sustainably sourced is just as important as they will match the style of your home.
Instead of coldness and sterility, Scandinavian spaces are available, family-oriented and happy places to stay. The white walls are very present to reflect the light and make the room brighter than it actually is. Chandeliers, mirrors and other reflective glass make the most of winter’s short days, while providing inviting light and warmth once the sun goes down.
Almost all Scandinavian-designed homes feature well-thought-out storage spaces that hide any possible clutter to create peace and harmony in a space.
