Scandinavian Interior Decor

Discover Our Scandinavian Interior And Home Decor

The serenity in simplicity, the elegance that lies behind the peculiar novelty of modernity in decor, forms the very essence of Scandinavian decor. It’s an aesthetic where clean lines and organic forms converge to pay homage to natural materials. A style where timelessness is deeply rooted in understated beauty and functionality in equal measures. But above all, it’s about creating a space, where every item holds its ground to become a soliloquy of cosy tranquillity and warmth. 

And Nestasia’s collection of Scandinavian home decor perfectly captures this essence to help you create the ultimate Scandinavian interior. From the forms and colour palettes of the vases, decor objects, and candle stands to the textures and designs of the wall art and rugs, Nestasia’s collection perfectly captures the dichotomy between modern trends and traditional trades. 

Tips for Incorporating Scandinavian Decor Into Your Home

To achieve a true Scandinavian interior, it’s more than sticking to a majority white colour palette and thinking minimalism. 

Minimalize

Scandinavian interiors take minimalism to a whole new level. Scandinavian home decor is all about open spaces and natural lighting. Think Kim Kardashian’s home… but with a little more furniture or decor. This is because decor objects such as photo frames, figurines, and vases, that have clean, crisp lines paired with majority white spaces evoke a sense of calm and capacity. 

The obvious and most natural step would be to declutter. But rather than going the extreme route of only having one sofa in a single room, it’s about aiming to achieve the Swedish concept known as “Lagom”. The term roughly translates to “just the right amount”- in other words, not too much and not too little. Have what is necessary and then a few accents to complement the look. 

Quality

Scandinavian home decor epitomizes quality and highlights the Scandinavian tradition of always prioritizing quality over quantity. Therefore, from light fixtures to the choice of mirrors, every detail must have a modern aesthetic that instantly captures people’s attention while remaining simple. 

Nature

Scandinavians have a hard-earned respect for nature. For centuries, access to natural resources for many Scandinavian countries was scarce. People had to learn how to work with the little natural resources they had to understand and get the most out of it. This appreciation is shown in the way Scandinavians spend the majority of their free time outdoors and try to incorporate as much of nature into their homes. 

Therefore, when you’re creating a Scandinavian interior, include nature through plants and planters, artificial flowers, windows that let in as much natural light as possible, and light-coloured wood. 

Colour Palette

Think neutral bases with pops of colour. 

Colour is another way to bring nature into the design. With earthy, stone and wood colours, and pops of bright colours, one can mimic the ethereal vibrancy of nature. Therefore, aim to have neutral backdrops with shades of grey, white, and sand as this will create a canvas perfect for adding accents of colour around the room. 

Contrast

When you hear the word “contrast” in the context of design, it’s natural for one to instantly think of colours on the opposite end of the colour wheel. However, when it comes to Scandinavian home design, contrast doesn’t constrict itself to colour. Rather, it opens the possibilities to create a visually interesting dichotomy between old and new home decor pieces, light and dark neutral palettes, straight and wavy forms, abstract and natural, functionality and comfort, and hard and soft. 

Cosiness

Scandinavian interior design is big on cosiness, or what they like to refer to as hygge. Hygge is a Danish word that roughly translates to ‘cosy togetherness’. Due to the notorious harsh, cold weather conditions Scandinavian countries are known for having soft furnishings such as rugs, thick, fluffy throws and blankets, and big, soft cushions as a massive part of the aesthetic. 

Benefits of Scandinavian Interior Design

Scandinavian interior design is based on principles that avoid cluttering the room with random artefacts that aren’t needed. This makes it an extremely cost-effective interior design style that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics or quality. 

Furthermore, the simplicity and sheer lack of extravagance is what makes Scandinavian home decor…well…extravagant. We’ve all heard it before. Luxury doesn’t need to be loud to justify itself. Rather, it needs to exude a certain quality of sophistication and elegance. 

When it comes to interior design, the most beautiful ones, the ones that stop and make us gasp, or hit the save button while we scroll through Pinterest or Instagram, are the ones that are simple and serene. And Scandinavian home decor is the personification of such luxury.

Moreover, the simplicity of the home decor items, or lack thereof, makes the Scandi style extremely easy to clean and maintain.
