The Scandinavian look: The understated winner

Scandinavian wallpaper is the right choice for you! The Scandinavian look is bright and light, which is necessary for countries where it is dark for half the year. This style is very trendy nowadays and will perfectly fit in your interior.

The emphasis is on white

A Nordic look is simply impossible without white. White and wood are highly recommended as they often transform the room by creating a calm and soothing air, which will give it all its charm. However, this colour should not be overused. It is better to play with materials and colours to avoid a hospital, sterile look and to make the room warm. Why not decorate some walls with white wallcovering, and opt for a wall in another colour?

Opt for light-coloured wood flooring

Wood is one of the significant characteristics of Scandinavian look decoration. Indeed, it is an ode to nature and the forest. A material that brings all its warmth and uniqueness to this trend. Choose a light wood floor that will complete the warm spirit of the style and reflect a beautiful light. Explore our wide range of organic cork flooring, the eco-friendly, stylish option that will complement neutral walls.

Choose the right furniture

Following the same logic as the flooring, choose solid wood furniture such as pine or birch, which will have a clean but contemporary look. The key is in the detail. Design and functional, this Nordic furniture should also be light-coloured, as the other characteristic of Scandinavian decoration is luminosity. So, banish all dark furniture and make room for light colours.

Colours and patterns for a Scandinavian look

To be in keeping with the Scandinavian look, you will have to respect certain colour codes such as light tones around beige, white and light brown. However, a splash of warmer shades can make a room stand out. As far as textiles are concerned, it is possible to play with red, duck blue or mustard yellow. However, it is difficult to imagine a cosy Scandinavian living room with just a few cushions and other cosy plaids. So don't be afraid to pile red, blue or even yellow cushions on your sofa. Also, don't hesitate to use patterned prints. Scandinavians love to have interiors with geometric shapes. These will blend in wonderfully with the cool northern tones of the decor.

The decorative aspect of the Scandinavian look

To emphasise your Scandinavian decoration, bet on the sure values. Indeed, the Scandinavian style also has emblematic decorative elements such as candleholders, nesting tables, Scandinavian armchairs or even wall shelves. Accompany them with a soft plaid, which you can lay out carelessly. The rug is also a sure bet for Scandinavian decoration. Simply place it at the foot of your sofa and you're done.

Brightness

Scandinavians rely heavily on the brightness of the room. For this, they choose light tones for the whole room. So, as far as curtains are concerned, we opt for transparent curtains that let the light in. Consequently, opaque curtains should be avoided, as they could darken the room and give the impression of a smaller volume. Also, as previously mentioned, certain rules must be respected in the decoration of furniture and textiles. However, these elements, although mandatory, are not enough to create a Scandinavian atmosphere. Other elements must be added to complete the whole. Light fittings such as lamps, candle holders and candles are just some of the small items that will add character to a Nordic-style room.
