Here at Designbx we love all styles and looks, and try to mix them as much as possible, but there\u2019s no denying that Scandinavian interior design is one of our favourites! The simplicity and clean lines call out to us. It can sometimes be a bit tricky to nail such a minimalistic look, so here is your Scandi design cheat sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Start with a wooden floor<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First of all, start with a clean, fresh base. Wooden floorboards are the ultimate Scandi trademark. Opt for light tones to open up the space and to give as much lightness and airiness as possible. Think about your walls and ceiling colours as well. Your interior will look bigger and brighter instantly \u2014 the more white the better.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Use a muted palette<\/h2>\n

Once you have your base mastered, move on to the big block pieces. For larger items, like your sofa, table, chairs or curtains, try using neutral colours. We especially love using a myriad of greys (avoid a white couch that you\u2019ll be stressing about when the little ones get within a 10-metre radius of it). To master the look, add touches of wood here and there to incorporate warmth.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Add colour by using splashes of pastels<\/h2>\n

Although a neutral-based style, Scandinavian interior design colour schemes are often infused with soft pastels. Our favourite is blush pink, as it is the perfect complementary colour to any wood. Mint green is also a fun way to add some colour into your Scandi kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Create a complementary feature wall<\/h2>\n

So how best do we style our walls in a Scandi home? It can be hard to figure out how to add different pieces of wall art without making it clash with a neutral interior, but by adding pops of pastels you can creating a striking look.<\/p>\n

Be creative! Use photos, prints, paintings, quotes or even drawings that your mini-me made! You can create a fun art project for the kids by encouraging them to create, using your colour palette.<\/span><\/p>\n

By using similar frames throughout and some clever pre-planning, you can ensure your unique feature wall works harmoniously with the Scandi style. <\/span><\/p>\n

5. Layers, layers, layers!<\/h2>\n

The great thing about Scandinavian interior design is you can go wild with textures. As long as the colours are harmonious and neutral, you can mix as many as you like! This is what adds depth and character to Scandi spaces. Use leather, linen, jute, metal, fur, wood\u2026you name it, you layer it!<\/span><\/p>\n
