In 2023, we’ll be free to explore fresh and new concepts of the Scandinavian interior design style, but still adhering to the core ideas of the style. Let’s also discuss the fundamental concepts of Scandinavian design so that you will never go wrong as long as you keep these concepts in mind while freshening up your home.
1. Vibrant Colours
It’s all about bringing in vibrant colours to your space in 2023, but not just any colours, red and blue is getting increasingly popular in Scandinavian interior design style. You may be excited to add these colours to your space, but always make sure to use these colours in accent like in lamps, decorations, pillows, or other small furnishings. This would blend in with the muted and grey undertone colours of the original style.
2. Nature Comes Indoors
As the world becomes more aware of the changing environment and becoming eco-friendly, people are shifting their attention to warm tones and natural elements. So we are not surprised that incorporating natural wood everywhere is an increasing trend!
We embrace recycled and handcrafted goods as a sign of the eco-friendly design approach. One example would be incorporating indoor plants to your home. Other ways include incorporating it for your countertops, cabinets, flooring and even accent decor. The rustic look of the wood also suits the core fundamental concept of Scandinavian interior design as wood is often used to build Nordic homes.
3. Bringing The Past To The Present
As more and more people gravitate towards vintage pieces, decorating with these pieces is back as there is a nostalgic appeal. Interior design styles are also starting to take inspiration from the 60s to 90s to blend the vintage pieces together with the Scandinavian style.
Using warm saturated colours like browns, reds, and oranges muted hues gives a warm and joyful touch of surrealism like no other. Abstract shapes are also a must! Incorporate bulbous shapes through your furniture to give an eclectic look while maintaining a sense of comfort.
4. Let The Light In
Health and wellbeing is a major concern these days due to the recent pandemic event, as more people are spending time indoors more often than not, we start to find an importance in getting some natural sunlight into our homes.
If you want to create an alluring and warm space to Scandinavian style, clear and large windows are the way to let in as much natural light as possible. By letting in more natural light, your room will feel vitalising, or even calming and intimate. Furthermore, it adds a sense of comfort and ultimately, contributes to improving both your physical and mental health.
5. Organic Patterns
With the shift of popularity towards more nature inspired details, people are starting to embrace organic patterns like geometric shapes, stripes or floral to give their home a unique flair. If you’re feeling intimidated by adding a bold pattern to your home, start by trying out something more subtle like a collage of display prints as displayed above.
