- Scandinavian influence has flourished in every element of design ranging from visual art and typography to architecture, of course, furniture and home decor. This post features 10 apartments that demonstrate the range and versatility of Scandinavian interiors - some offer the classic white and wood familiar from the Ikea magazines, while others tackle the broader definition of Nordic decor with bright colorful motifs.
- Below are a few of the best examples of Scandinavian apartment design. Inspired by old houses and their materials that proved to be robust and have a long life, the brick house is a contemporary sustainable house. The objective of the house is to be maintenance-free for 50 years and with a lifespan of a minimum of 150 years. Clay blocks are used to create the outer layer of the house. The inner layer is insulated using wood. The interior is kept basic with quirky and trendy furniture.
- In the bedroom, modern Scandinavian interior design is expressed with serenity. Keep the furnishings simple and low to the ground. Walls are best kept white or soft gray to reflect natural light. Incorporate layers of warmth through textiles like linen bedding, wool throws, and natural fiber rugs. Storage should be hidden or integrated. Use bronze knobs on bedside tables or wardrobe doors for a handcrafted touch that complements the rooms quiet luxury.
- Light, white spaces are backgrounded by easy-to-clean and easy-to-complement wooden surfaces, while hunger-inducing reds and oranges spice up the mix. Adaptable to many tastes and accommodating differing personal touches, Scandinavian design offers versatility as well as flair. These five apartments, often from non-Western corners of the world, show how well the style of Scandinavia can stretch.
- Wall-mounted desks or console-length work surfaces appear often in Scandinavian apartments. If you choose this option for your Scandi office makeover, keep the decor minimal but weighted.
