A Scandinavian home style is really interesting. It is kind of a clean decoration style that will never be out of style. It brings coziness with a neat and clean home arrangement. For those who love orderliness, the Scandinavian is the best decoration concept to be applied to your house. Basically, Scandinavian home design is a minimalist style that is applied by using textures and soft hues. The impression result will be great where you will get a sleek and modern home look yet warm and inviting. The design style of the Scandinavian also emphasizes clean lines, utility, and simple furnishing but still functional for sure.
Anyway, as we have mentioned before the Scandinavian style has a modern and minimalist concept. But, how can this style bring its warm and welcoming atmosphere into the house? Well, the Scandinavian can be said as a mix of two main concepts. It has modern items such as metal but then added with the earthy items such as wood, rattan, jute, etc. It becomes clear now. That is why the Scandinavian home style can be such a great one with the best characters brought from the mix of styles being implemented.
In case you are confused about creating a Scandinavian home style, then we have some ideas that you can implement in your house. Each of the ideas will effectively bring the Scandinavian style so that you can implement something that can really characterize the style. Here they are.
Muted Color Application
For a Scandinavian home style, you can use the muted colors to be implemented. The colors will be warm, not overserving, and soft. For you who do not know yet about the muted colors, it is basically the colors that are already softened by adding gray or a complementary color. The color mixing is functional to reduce the colors’ brightness intensity. Examples of muted colors are olive green, soft gray, beige, mustard yellow, sage green, etc.
There are some muted colors applied here and all of them are able to create warmth. The tones are similar so that everything is seen as harmonious in this room. Even the lamp uses a yellow color for a better warm atmosphere. Muted Color from @noranilpferd

The contrast in the Scandinavian home style is not only about the color combination. It is also about the design of the items provided there.

Natural Light
The Scandinavian style prioritizes comfort with the addition of natural aspects in the decoration. Providing natural light is a way to get comfort through the natural element. The natural light will bring the warmth and peace that fill the space for the best comfort that you can feel and see. Not only that, the natural light can also maintain the humidity of the room. You can have it by installing the window in the right position where the sun shines. Or, you can have the glass wall and roof.

Colorful Art
Around the simplicity of the modern touch and the calm of nature, providing colorful art can bring a pop of color to the beauty needed. It is functional so that the decoration won’t be seen as boring. However, you should be careful not to be too much because that will destroy the Scandinavian style concept trying to create.

Coziness
The main basic characteristic of the Scandinavian home style is all about its coziness. In creating the coziness it could be about two things. The first one is related to the facilities that can be used. Then, the second one is about the ambiance that you can’t touch but can be felt. You can present a cozy ambiance by providing the right color, material, texture, and arrangement.

Mix Texture
There are different kinds of textures available in many decoration products. It is amazing how each texture can give certain comfort characteristics. The mix of textures is applied to the Scandinavian home style to achieve the comfort and the aesthetic impression that the textures have. Especially for the Scandinavian, the textures cone from the natural element materials that will be surely rich in texture.

Wood Material
The wood material is known for its ability to bring comfort with its calm and welcoming impression since it comes from nature. For the Scandinavian home style, the wood material is used in a quite massive way as you can find it in furniture, floors, walls, and even ceilings. The wood material itself is used to calm down the modern rigid impression and to create an aesthetic around simplicity.
When you commonly see the wood material for the furniture, then here is an example of applying the wood for the floor. It won’t be only good for the farmhouse or rustic because you can also have it for Scandinavian. Look at how it can be maintained to be simple, sleek, and clean to fit Scandinavian style.
