Before we begin: What is Scandinavian style?
In times when our life is so stressful and tiring, we need a space that calms us. We can achieve this feeling by decorating our homes in Scandinavian style.
Scandinavian style was created when people in the Scandinavian region reflected their lifestyle in their homes. This lifestyle aims to live in harmony with nature and feel peace. It ensures that spaciousness and simplicity are present in our homes.
Inspired by the self-rejuvenation of nature, sustainability is equally important. Therefore, it is very significant to choose high quality products that can adapt to any style and maintain their longevity over the years. If you are ready to bring nature into your home, let's get started now! :)
1. quality before quantity
In Scandinavian style, functionality is paramount, and the idea of "buy once, use for a long time" prevails. One of the golden rules is to make your furniture from high-quality materials. This way you can use it for many years and create a sustainable living space.
For example, you can use the space in your room most efficiently by choosing modular sofas, which will be one of the biggest parts of your decoration. You can add or remove modules to change your sofa in the future and easily adapt it to your new space, even if you move to another house.
The combination possibilities you have with the different sizes of modules from Normod are almost limitless. With additional modules you can adapt your sofa to new styles and spaces. How easy to assemble Normod modules, you can see here.
2. time for minimalism
As far as order is concerned, we turn our attention to the Swedish concept of "lagom". Lagom means "not too much, not too little, just right.". You should use as few items as possible in your decor and be well organized. Instead of items that take up unnecessary space, go for products that add style to your space while being functional. Conciseness is our focus!
Do not forget about yourself! Organization is necessary not only for your decoration, but also for your well-being. On stressful days, you can do some stretches for 10 minutes before bed. Or spend an evening with family and friends. These activities will also help you maintain your own balance.
For a spacious room we recommend Klem 3 seater sofa - velvet.
3. high quality materials
The textures and fabrics of your furniture have the power to completely transform your decor. Fabrics with natural components contribute to sustainability and are pure. They also give you a fresh feeling on your sofa. By studying the natural and synthetic components of the fabric you choose, you can make the right decision for your style and needs.
The materials of the complementary products you use can make your room look magnificent and are an important factor for long-term use. You should make sure that not only your large furniture pieces, but also the wood materials of all your products are made of high quality wood.
Our natural fabrics and boucle fabrics are one of the best choices to create a Scandinavian style thanks to their cotton content!
You can bring the Scandinavian style into your home by choosing the Natural fabric in Klem 280 x 171 and Modsy accent chair choose!
4. a neutral color palette
To bring naturalness into our home, the colors we use for our furniture should also be colors that make us feel nature. For this, you should opt for white or neutral colors that will make your room look as minimalist as possible. After that, you can go tone on tone with other compatible shades. A bright color palette will also suit your style if you want to go for a new look in the future.
The room does not have to be completely white! As complementary colors, you can add light sky blue and earth tones. Light colored furniture can also be accompanied by plant greenery and natural wood shades. You can also create combinations according to your own taste. Vividly colored decorative pieces that attract attention can also be used. Exploding colors in light shades can become the eye-catcher of your living space.
5. add and complete
Rooms decorated exclusively in cold and neutral colors can look a bit monotonous. Scandinavian style must also show the warmth of nature.
Hygge is a Danish word that means. "warmth, coziness of the soul" means. It means to be happy by adding elements that warm the soul. This is our solution to endure the cold Scandinavian climate a little longer :) Hygge also allows you to use pieces that bring new sparkle to your space.
You can take inspiration from the textures and colors of nature to add some warmth to your space and create inviting rooms. You can choose products made of light-colored wood for your coffee tables, consoles and bookshelves. Soft, colorful pillows and blankets are also one of the easiest ways to increase the warmth of the environment.
You can fill your empty spaces with numerous plants without narrowing them. If you are not particularly skilled in dealing with plants, you can consider options that are easy to care for.
6. illuminate with abundant light
It's time to fill your home with sunlight! In Scandinavian homes, light is allowed to illuminate the interior abundantly. With natural lighting, you can get one step closer to Scandinavian style.
If your windows are not big enough, you can let the sunlight in easier with light curtains. In the evening, you can choose simple chandeliers and floor lamps for lighting. You should use soft, muted tones and avoid sharp and bright lighting.
When everything is ready, do not forget to add personal touches at the end! The important thing is to create a space where you like to spend time and that reflects your personality.
