Scandinavian Design is a trending interior design style that originates from the Nordic regions, i.e., Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway. It is a minimalistic design style that takes inspiration from the Danish concept of “Hygge”, which celebrates calm and comfortable living. Scandinavian Design also naturally goes with different styles such as contemporary, Boho, Japandi etc. The defining features of Scandinavian Design are the use of natural materials and textures like rugs in muted or neutral tones. Moreover, incorporating natural light is very important when it comes to Scandinavian Design. Let us look at a few Scandinavian Design inspirations that suit our Indian context.

Scandinavian Design is elegant and functional at the same time. It expresses its elegance through warm and simple tones with a fresh aesthetic to create cosy interiors. In order to achieve Scandinavian Design in the Indian context, one must make use of handmade furniture and decor. Light wooden tones and rattan are great ways to contextualise Scandinavian Design. At the same time, indoor plants also contribute to creating a cosy Scandinavian atmosphere. It is also worth noting that the categorization of these inspiring Scandinavian Design ideas is not in chronological order of the best designs. It is a potpourri of beautiful spaces that offer unique perspectives. However, the main challenge of Scandinavian Design is that it may not fit into many people’s budgets.
