SCANDINAVIAN STYLE: INTRODUCTION<\/h2>\n\n

The Scandinavian style<\/strong> is among the most appreciated and desired when it is time to furnish your home. The reason is that many people find themselves in the atmosphere these houses create. The Nordic style can be for everyone, but especially for people who like white and soft colors, wood and natural textiles. <\/p>\n\n

In addition, the basis of Nordic furniture and lifestyle is the so-called hygge<\/strong>. It is such a feeling and atmosphere that makes one savor a sense of comfort, security and welcome. In a word: of familiarity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Thus, both the interior and exterior of a Nordic-style home should therefore pursue the ideal of hygge.<\/p>\n\n

ORIGINS<\/h4>\n\n

Scandinavian style is difficult to pin down to a specific era\nin which it was born because it takes its shape from the Nordic product design that\nrevolutionized the world of modern design. \nAfter the two world wars, Europe was flooded with a shared\ndesire for innovation and modernity in everything.<\/p>\n\n

This new trend brought to the Scandinavian countries a design that emphasized form, natural material characteristics, and functionality.<\/p>\n\n

The philosophy that form must follow function is the basis of all Scandinavian design interpreted by many famous names including Arne Jacobsen<\/a> who, even today, is considered the man of the Renaissance of Danish and Scandinavian design and architecture.<\/p>\n\n

WHAT IS MEANT BY SCANDINAVIAN STYLE<\/h4>\n\n

So what does the Scandinavian style mean in the\nsphere of furniture?<\/p>\n\n

Houses furnished in the Nordic style are highly recognizable in their distinctiveness. Scandinavian houses give an immediate sensation of warmth and purity<\/strong> thanks to the prevalence of white, rule number one.<\/p>\n\n

The style is calibrated and rationalized in every choice, even where they seem random, and is characterized by a sense of natural harmony. The Scandinavian style has various different inclinations, such as the vintage<\/a>Scandinavian, a Scandinavian that tends more to the modern or for the nostalgics of the true beginning of Nordic design, a mid-century Scandinavian, where more wood prevails and certain shades of yellow and orange in the details .<\/p>\n\n

SCANDINAVIAN STYLE FEATURES<\/h4>\n\n

The Scandinavian style is characterized by clean lines, texture of quality materials and simple and functional design.<\/strong> In addition, the line between modern and Scandinavian design has loosened somewhat in recent years, with the terms used interchangeably.<\/p>\n\n

It should be noted that although the functional features are the same, aesthetically the two styles are very different. In fact, Scandinavian design employs more textures and finishes of exposed materials. <\/p>\n\n

The idea is to create a functional space that is lived-in, cozy, and warm. This is normally achieved by leaving wood grain, metal trim or rough stone exposed, and using the textures of materials such as wool, linen and leather. Finally, color is not commonly used, with neutral and earthy patterns and palettes. <\/p>\n\n

The fundamental elements<\/strong> for this kind of style can be listed as follows:<\/p>\n\n
