It is a reflection of the Scandinavian lifestyle and needs, it responds to the climate and geography of this area, however today we find it anywhere in the world and it has become a benchmark for interior design.
Why do we see it around the world if it responds to the Scandinavian characteristics and lifestyle?
Multifunctional furniture.
One of the reasons that carries the most weight in this response is that the Nordic culture has always been concerned with saving and optimizing resources such as space. This is why the Nordic style is mainly differentiated by the restricted use of ornaments and the concern that EVERYTHING in the space is 100% functional or even multifunctional.
Spacious and bright spaces.
Minimalist design.
We are talking about countries that most of the year have very little sunlight, therefore light is essential in these environments, and how do they do it?
With large windows, lots of white and mostly light colors on the surfaces. And who doesn't like it? Currently, due to the dense construction in cities, looking for light through design is something that interests us all around the world.
Spacious and bright spaces.
However, in terms of materials and textures, this style, maintaining its concern for the optimization of resources, implements all kinds of accessible materials in its context, such as wood, stone and leather. You will ask why?
The reason is that its textures and colors allow spaces to be given the warmth that is sought during winter. We know that in our case winter is not such a protagonist, but speaking in terms of design and balance, they are the perfect allies to avoid environments so cold that they do not invite you to habit them.
Textures and colors.
Here we will find completely clean spaces because this style completely avoids recharging the spaces with objects, colors or textures. On the contrary, efforts are directed to clarify and liberate as much as possible except when it is necessary to integrate prints in which we can find geometric patterns or shapes inspired by nature.
Integrated geometric pattern.
In conclusion, the Nordic style, although it was born from the needs of Scandinavian life, has become a design benchmark around the world thanks to its search for comfort and resource optimization, something that almost all of us are currently looking for regardless of geographical location.
