New Scandinavian trends in interior design
1. PHILOSOPHY «LAGOM»
Last year, the focus was on the idea of comfort in Danish under the name “Hugge”. But this year, this trend, it seems, will have to step aside – to replace it came a more pragmatic and rational Swedish “lagom”. Lagom is the Swedish ethic of moderation. A lagom is not much and not a little, it’s exactly right. This is a non-scintillating look and minimalism in design, which Sweden is famous for. And even more – a lagom is a practical philosophy of life.
2. SPACE FREE FROM TECHNICAL DEVICES
In your apartment there must be a place where you do not constantly renew the facebook, where there is no noise from the TV or working mail on the computer does not distract from rest. This place should be a bedroom. Gray and milky colors, natural soft fabrics and natural wood will help create an oasis of tranquility.
3. STORAGE SYSTEM AS A DECORATION
Scandinavians know how to take an ordinary coat rack for storage and make it a work of art that will decorate any room. And it does not matter whether you use it for its intended purpose or not.
4. CULTURE OF THE COUNTRY HOUSE
Finland played a big role in the formation of Scandinavian design. One of the happiest nations – the Finns – has much to learn. The key criterion here is the connection with nature, with natural materials and, basically, with wood, using it in the interior decoration of the house.
5. FURNITURE WITH LEATHER ELEMENTS
In comparison with other natural popular organic Scandinavian materials, the skin is not so popular. But, according to the Swedish stylist Lotta Agathon, wooden chairs with leather seat and backrest – this is a new trend.
6. BLUE EXPLOSION
Can you name the most popular Scandinavian color for accents? That’s right, blue. Especially popular is the blue on the background of the white interior. The era of monochrome officially ended.
7. LARGE PAPER LIGHTS
