Bright interiors, natural materials, practicality, simplicity, comfort, and clean lines – these are the basic features of one of the most influential trends in the interior design of the 20th century. It is these characteristics that each of us loves to see in our home that has guaranteed this style an timeless beauty that resists all new trends. The Scandinavian interior design style is both elegant and informal, which is why it easily broke through the walls of houses into business premises, and then many interiors far from the native north of Europe.

Floors and walls
Scandinavian-style floors and walls rarely stand out. The walls are usually white and draw attention to the furniture. If there is a color, it is usually neutral, bright, and natural tones. Wooden floors are common, and the tiled floor covers the entry and bathroom. Bright shades of floor surfaces emphasize the impression of spaciousness and airiness of the interior. Scandinavian style loves open spaces that do not impede movement and blur the line between interior and exterior.
Colors
White, gray, brown, and black tones can be seen throughout the space. The natural color palette is a base in the Scandinavian interior style.
Materials
Wood is imperative for the Scandinavian style. Implementing wood paneling on walls and ceilings will emphasize the texture and warmth of that thankful material. Along with wood, furniture made of natural materials also looks great, especially chairs with modern, simple lines. Pay attention to fabrics as well – the variety of textures and colors is also neutral and earthy.
Form
Clean and simple lines are emphasized in both architectural solutions and furniture design. The Scandinavian interior design style is all about simplicity and freshness.
Functionality
The true Scandinavian style is very vivid, cheerful, and practical. It represents a kind of coexistence of the interior and the people who live in it.
Furniture
Pieces of furniture designed by designers inspired by Scandinavian style fit into any space. Classics of northern design include the well-known Panton chair, Egg chair, Ant chair, Artichoke chandelier, or Wegner peacock chair. In the observed interior, the furniture is made of natural materials and fits greatly with the rest of the interior.
Details
Scandinavian style never sacrifices details for the sake of general impression. A particularly noticeable component of this style is paying attention to items such as glasses, plates, cutlery, and other items used daily. Often these are really small sculptures worthy of attention that adorn the kitchen shelves. But don’t think that objects are just beautiful – they must also be very functional.
One more important thing to mention is a balcony. It is a small but also cozy and functionally designed part of the apartment. The table and chairs that can be found on the balcony are made of metal so they can endure the harsh weather conditions.
