How to Nail Scandinavian Interior Design
Minimalist styles may come and go, but there is one creator of clean design that show no signs of going out of style: Interior White’s design muse, Scandinavia. Nordic interior design seeks to create a blend of textures, juxtapositions and soft hues to ensure that their sleek, modern furniture feels warm and inviting. The formula for this design ethic is to exercise restraint in one’s décor choices whilst still achieving the feel of cosy space – which is no small feat!
It's no wonder the style is so popular: it speaks to both our tidy ‘KonMarie’ tendencies and our desire to live in cosy, comfortable settings. Want to get the look that Nordic countries are so well-known for? We’ll walk you through with our favourite examples.
Known for its minimalist colour palettes, cosy accents and striking modern furniture, Scandi interiors often play with natural light – a hot commodity in Nordic countries!

Scandinavian design is known for its minimalist flair that still manages to feel cosy. For instance, this living room features simple, clean-lined furniture and muted grey tones, which could easily feel cold and uninviting. But with the striking artwork on the walls and a mix of textures, like the selection of scatter cushions, it feels welcoming.
Warm wood tones and sepia hues are popular in Scandi interiors since they make a room feel sunny and bright without using overwhelming bright colours. In this room, off-whites, yellow hues and wood tones work together to create a welcoming, muted space.
