Scandinavian furniture is a mix of minimalism, functionality and comfort. It is the decoration style that has been all the rage for several seasons: its neutral tones, bright colours and graphic prints have won over many decoration fans.
By adopting the Scandinavian style, you are adopting a timeless, inspired and nature-friendly style!
THE colors
White is an essential color, it is imperative to choose a light color to bring brightness to your room. The white on your walls will highlight your furniture and give a minimalist style to your space. Thus, Scandinavian decor emphasizes shades of white, wood, but also pastel and neutral tones to create a warm, chic and elegant atmosphere.

THE furniture
Furniture plays a key role in the Nordic style and the chair is the quintessential Scandinavian piece of furniture. It will give character to the room thanks to its very particular style. Indeed, it is generally designed with rounded shapes and features light and neutral tones that give it this modern cozy effect without overloading the space.

The light
Bet on lighting for an ever brighter interior! Geometric pendant lights, lamps, spotlights... they are ideal for completing your Scandinavian decoration, especially if you don't have a very bright interior. These elements will bring relief and light to the room without removing the refined look, specific to the Nordic style. Finally, to preserve natural light, think about net curtains rather than curtains. They will let in daylight while maintaining this cocoon and intimacy feeling.

The materials
The choice of materials will play an important role. Since the Scandinavian style is inspired by nature, wood is an essential material. Light woods such as rattan, fir, pine, oak or birch blend perfectly with light colors and will soften your room to make it warm. Combine it with soft textiles such as wool, suede and cotton to make your interior a cozy nest.

Less is more
If you want to make this style your own, simplicity is the key word. Indeed, Scandinavian decoration is simple and practical. It is not about having a white, minimalist and lifeless interior, but avoid too many frills and excess decorative elements that could weigh down a interior already very aesthetic.
