The 5 keys to Nordic décor
22 / may. / 2019
The Nordic style, also known as Scandinavian, has been a trend in interior design since the early 20th century and is still one of the favourites when decorating houses around the world. Find out the key points of this trend born in the countries of northern Europe.
01. Spaces with a lot of light
Sweden, Norway, Finland or Denmark are known to have little natural light, especially in the coldest months of the year, so in their décor they try to make the spaces brighter, either by having large windows, or by using light colours in their décor. Fundamentally, white is the protagonist in any Scandinavian style environment.

02. Functionality and simplicity
Restraint is another variable that typifies the Nordic style. Their furniture usually lacks ornaments, with ample spaces. Modular shelving and cabinets are also very common in this type of décor, thanks to their versatility and the decorative elements are reduced to a minimum, leaving only practical and functional pieces.
03. Straight lines and geometric shapes
In textiles such as curtains, blankets or rugs, in the Scandinavian style what prevails are neutral colours with plain designs or linear or geometric prints. This type of design provides order and extends the straight lines of the furniture, giving the ensemble harmony and balance.

04. Natural materials and elements
Nature is another key piece in this style of décor in northern countries. In addition to white, wood is used in furniture and accessories, textiles made of natural fibres and, above all, plants to gain freshness and give a touch of green to the environment.
05. Clear tones with contrast points
As mentioned above, white is the predominant colour in Nordic décor due to its bright and tidy nature. In many environments, white is accompanied by contrasting details such as black or grey lines. It can also be combined with beige tones reminiscent of natural textiles or have some elements with a plain and more striking colour such as green or yellow to give a fun and personal touch to the rooms.
