Scandinavian interior design trends to modernise your home
One of the more enduring interior design schemes is Scandinavian Design.
AI summary
Scandinavian design is a timeless interior style focused on simplicity, practicality, and a connection to nature. Popularised by mid-century designers like Arne Jacobsen, it emphasizes clean lines, natural light, and quality craftsmanship for longevity.
The aesthetic uses a light, neutral colour palette with pops of colour from accents like Marimekko textiles. Key materials include natural timbers like beech and pine, sleek furniture, and iconic lighting, creating spaces that are bright, functional, and beautifully uncluttered.
