Inspired by the changing climates of Scandinavian countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Finland, this style is shaped within the framework of basic lines such as comfort, warmth, balance and functionality. The weight of white color used in the design is preferred to reflect the long snowy winters of Scandinavian countries as well as to carry the feeling of spaciousness and light into living spaces. The use of functional furniture, simplicity, eye-catching choices, light wood, and white walls are the main indicators of the Scandinavian style, away from the use of unnecessary items. Due to the fact that Scandinavian houses are generally small, few items, the orientation to light tones and calm patterns that will make the house look large and spacious is common.
Scandinavian style evokes modern and minimalist design approaches with its cold and lean image, while it is distinguished from others by the emphasis on natural elements and comfort. With their respect for the simplicity of life culturally, they value space and use spaces as a design element. In addition to homeliness and simplicity, it is also one of today's trending design styles with the image of a work of art.
“Hygge”, a philosophy of life for Danes, comes to the meanings of happiness, warmth and peace. This philosophy has been described as a kind of “home coziness” in Scandinavian homes. Similar to the idea of hygge, the Swedes use the word “Lagom”, which means balanced living. This means “being neither much nor little”, that is, finding the balance. For Scandinavian houses, this can be interpreted as a mixture of the old and the new, or as finding balance between minimalism and comfort.
