Relaxed, informal and very cozy, that’s the Nordic style. Will you join us to discover it?
What is Nordic style?
If there’s a style that never goes out of fashion, it’s Nordic (also known as Scandinavian style). Its light, peace, and aesthetic elements make its spaces a true temple.
In today’s chapter we’ll take you through the 5 keys to dye your home in this fantastic style, characteristic of northern Europe.
Characteristics of Nordic style
1. Star materials
If you want to achieve a Nordic or Scandinavian atmosphere for your home, it will be essential to combine these three materials: marble, natural wood, and white furniture. The wood should be oak or pine, but… without varnish! With woody touches, we’ll give warmth to the style that’s most ambiented in the north.
2. White or light wood lamps
Can you find how many lamps are hidden in this living room? Here’s a clue: two are floor lamps, and one is a hanging lamp.
Did you find it? Great! As you may have noticed, lighting is a fundamental factor in this style inspired by Nordic countries, where sunlight disappears early during the day, and dark nights are much longer than in Spain.
Use lamps that don’t stand out in the design of your space, look for harmony of color and shapes (we recommend using white or light wood lamps).
3. Ornaments? Yes, please
How to bring warmth and life to a cold style? The answer is simple: with soft and pleasant decorative elements and pastel colors.
In your living room and bedrooms you can’t miss velvet and artificial fur cushions. Don’t forget to use crochet or knitted blankets to add a minimalist and casual touch to your spaces.
4. Neutral tones and colors
The quintessential color of Nordic style is white. But let’s not be radical! Use neutral tones with the ‘tone over tone’ technique, creating layers of smooth and relaxed colors. This way, we’ll maintain the harmony of the space without altering the style.
5. The more natural light, the better
Can you imagine relaxing in a bathtub with an outdoor view? We would love that 🤩
Use large windows that allow natural light to enter, discreet furniture to create a sense of space, glass screens, and natural woods. Together, these elements will give a fresh touch to the look of your room.
