If you love Scandinavian interiors but can't afford a full house makeover, then you still can add some Scandinavian details!

By adding some decor and lighting, you can turn your interior into a Scandi-like modern living space.

Here's how you can do it.

Light Colors

Choose light colors for your walls and furniture. Whites, light grays, and soft pastels create that clean and airy Scandinavian feel.

Natural Materials

Use natural materials like wood for furniture and flooring.

Light-colored woods, such as birch or pine, add warmth and a natural touch to your space.

Simple Furniture

Opt for simple and functional furniture with clean lines. 

Scandinavian design focuses on minimalism, so choose pieces that serve a purpose without unnecessary embellishments.

Cozy Textiles

Add cozy textiles like blankets, cushions, and rugs. 

Use natural fabrics such as wool or cotton in light, neutral tones to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Functional Decor

Decorate with functional items. Think practical and beautiful, like minimalist shelves, storage baskets, or simple vases with fresh flowers.

Lots of Light

Maximize natural light by keeping curtains light or sheer. 

Add floor lamps or pendant lights to brighten darker areas, creating a well-lit and airy ambiance.

Nature-Inspired Decor

Bring in elements inspired by nature. A few potted plants or nature-themed artwork can add a touch of the outdoors to your interior.

Open Spaces

Aim for open spaces. Arrange furniture to create a sense of openness and flow. Avoid overcrowding the room with too many pieces.

Functional Kitchen Design

If possible, opt for a functional kitchen design with clean lines and light-colored cabinets. 

Consider open shelving to showcase simple, well-designed kitchenware.

Minimalist Decor

Embrace a minimalist approach. Keep decor items to a minimum, focusing on quality over quantity. Each piece should have a purpose or bring joy.
