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 harmony with nature. Popularised by mid-century designers like Arne Jacobsen, it emphasizes clean lines, natural light, and quality craftsmanship.
The aesthetic features timber, neutral colour palettes with pops of colour from brands like Marimekko, and sleek, clutter-free furniture. This approach, which includes iconic lighting like Henningsen’s Artichoke Pendant, creates bright, functional spaces that enhance wellbeing and celebrate a 'less is more' philosophy.
