Decorating style that has been gaining more and more fans around the world, as well as in our country, Scandinavian decoration values a minimalist look and simplicity, with few elements in the decoration, but using design items and colors with personality.
It originated in northern Europe around the twentieth century, encompassing the countries of the region known as Scandinavia, which include Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark. As the lower temperatures prevail in the climate of these countries, the natural search for comfortable and beautiful homes has resulted in a warm and functional decoration.
Among the items visualized in a home that uses this influence, it is possible to cite handmade items using techniques such as crochet, knitting and carved wooden objects, as well as the presence of nature through plants and foliage.
Since the winter in this region is long and intense, the interior of a Scandinavian home is striking for its natural use of light, with large windows and even the use of features such as the skylight. Despite using light gray, beige and wood tones, the white color remains the predominant one, making the environment brighter.
Check out the beautiful environments that use this style of decoration and check out tips on how to apply it in the different rooms of your home:
