Sweden-Inspired Scandinavian Interior Styles

Scandinavian Decor

Scandinavian style staples in a living room by Decorilla designer, Joyce T. Scandinavian home decor style strikes a near-perfect balance between comfort and minimalism—both hallmarks of Scandinavian design. As one of the interior design styles that shaped (and grew with) the 20th century, some of its features also resemble modernism.

This interior design style originates from Scandinavia, which consists of Norway, Sweden , and Denmark (though Finland and Iceland are also sometimes included). Because these northern European countries often experience harsh winters and frigid temperatures, coziness (or hygge, as the Danish call it) is a key element in Scandinavian design.
