Scandi
Originating in Scandinavia, this interior design style thrives on very bright, functional implementations. Reduced to the bare essentials, the focus in interior design is on a few special pieces of furniture that bring warmth and coziness to the room.
Typical of the Scandinavian Style
- Reduced aesthetics
- Light appearance
- Soft splashes of color
- Natural materials such as wood (oak, spruce, or pine) and fabrics or furs
- Often paired with retro furniture
- Focus on use and functionality
Basic Guidelines
The style originates from Scandinavian countries. Due to the long periods of darkness there, a very bright, open interior design concept has developed.
The aim is always to create a cozy atmosphere to escape the cold temperatures. Large window elements and clever lighting design ensure sufficient brightness.

Materials
The basis of the Scandinavian style is usually white or very light oiled wood. These are also popular for use on walls or ceilings. Coniferous woods with their large dimensions are particularly well suited to this interior design style. Our deep white oiling achieves the desired very light appearance.
This is combined with natural-colored wood elements as well as furs, blankets, and other cozy fabrics.

Furniture & Furnishings
Scandinavian design furniture should be simple and straightforward. Natural, organic shapes and curves are also popular. These pieces are often complemented by classics such as designer furniture.
Important: Functionality should never be neglected.
