Scandinavian decoration: 5 tips for adopting it! | Factory Street

Clean lines, pastel colors, graphic patterns… Scandinavian style has come back into fashion in our homes in recent years. Find out how to create a warm interior with an ultra-trendy Nordic style that will bring you softness and comfort. You will never have been so proud of your Scandinavian decoration!

Focus on clarity!

To face the long, dark winter months, Nordic countries need a lot of light in their homes. Floor lamps, accent lamps and candles are therefore essential for diffusing light and illuminating your room. This clarity is also achieved thanks to the large white walls characteristic of Scandinavian decoration. Bringing a minimalist style to your interior, light and simple walls enlarge the space and are very easy to decorate. Accumulation of frames and paintings with graphic motifs, small shelves in light wood or even pretty wall lights, choose according to your tastes and style!

Warm materials

In Scandinavian decoration it is important to warm the space. Mix different styles and play with textures for a cozy atmosphere. Long-pile or Moroccan carpets, soft throws or large wool blankets, soft linen or synthetic fur cushions… everything is good for creating an enveloping spirit and a warm atmosphere. We also dare to wear a fake sheepskin draped over the sofa, for a decidedly trendy living room!

Nordic furniture

For a successful Scandinavian decoration, know that it goes very well with other atmospheres such as vintage or industrial style. One of the characteristic materials of Scandinavian decoration is wood, which adds a natural touch. We prefer it in a light color, always with this attention to brightness. We therefore opt for light wood furniture such as pine or birch. Functional furniture is often given priority, with plenty of space and clean lines, to avoid lack of space and scattered objects which are often unattractive.

Neutral colors

Neutral tones are very present in Scandinavian interiors. We mainly find monochromatic pieces with tones such as white, beige, light gray and very pale pastel colors, such as antique pink. If you want to give a little more liveliness to your room, mustard yellow, duck blue or even pine green are very trendy colors that you can add small touches to your interior.

An enveloping sofa

Fabric sofas with slightly flared wooden legs are characteristic of the Scandinavian trend. Clean lines and minimalist design, dressed in grey, yellow, blue… you will find Nordic style sofas in many shapes and colours! Centerpiece of your interior, opt for the one that will best suit your living room, choosing it based on its shape, its dimensions and above all your tastes.
