Shop the Look: Scandinavian Serene
Scandinavian style is definitely having a moment right now. Scandinavian design is a particularly soothing style—it involves clean lines, calming neutrals, and minimal clutter or visual overstimulation. The focus is on functionality, without sacrificing a unique sense of beauty. Let’s dive into this Scandinavian-inspired living room to see how this design came to life!
A major facet of Scandinavian design is natural, organic materials. The elements I’ve included in the design above bring wood, stone, wool, and other natural elements to the forefront. It makes you want to experience the room with more than just your eyes—run your hands along the nubby boucle of the sofa and imagine you’re feeling the soft touch of sheeps wool before shearing.
The color scheme is designed to calm and soothe you. Creams and grays are grounded by touches of black and the deepest ebony brown. Gold and black metals complement and heighten the rich antique whites and griege.
By adding pattern strategically, on the floor through the rug and on the walls with art, the eye travels the height and span of the room without being overwhelmed in every direction. This room has a point of view and a notable effect on your overall mood.
By introducing one or more of these Scandinavian design pieces into your space, you’ll be expressing to everyone who enters that your room is a sanctuary in which calmness and serenity rules—enjoy the quiet beauty with your family and friends!
