The Scandinavian home design is all about being simple and minimal yet functional and accessible. Hygge is one of the most important elements in Scandinavian style. It refers to creating an environment that evokes feelings of cosiness, warmth, and comfort, originating from Nordic homes that have the same core essence.
Colour palettes usually consist of white, greys, black and blue accents reflecting the winter skies and landscapes of Nordic countries. Being all about creating a balance between decor and furniture, prioritising light clutter-free spaces without being overly ornate. Common decor usually used are nature-inspired artworks or fluffy textiles.
Now that we know about the basis of the interior design style. Let's talk about the current trends that blend fresh designs with time-honoured elements of Scandinavian interior design!
# Trend 1: Touch of Retro

The Scandinavian design is picking up inspiration from ‘60s to ‘90s, throwing back to using browns, oranges, and red muted hues and furniture with bulbous shapes. Make sure to keep the space around these furniture decluttered so you can appreciate the beauty of each furniture with a retro touch more.

Scandinavian interior design always prioritises letting natural light pour into the space to brighten the entire room. One example is like the above portfolio, by using sheer curtains to create soft light and balance without overwhelming the space with light. Another way to maximise natural light into your room is by installing long windows. Here’s a tip; Add black-out curtains in a grey hue if you want to take a break from the bright room, it also acts as a perfect finishing touch for a scandinavian-inspired design scheme.
# Trend 3: Nature-Inspired

Popping a plant or two in your interior design will give some life to your home, completely transforming the vibe. By bringing in an earthy, arboreal element to the natural look, it serves to add a pop of colour without overwhelming you. It would also bring in a rough and rustic look to pair with soft and cosy textiles that will be talked about later on. We recommend plants like the money tree plant that is easy to grow. What's more, it is known to bring good luck and enhance your feng shui.
# Trend 4: Playing with Textures
