A scandinavian decoration is marked by its presence in the minimalist concept, but with the warm touch of wood and a lot of functionality. In environments that bet on style, neutral and light colors are indispensable.

Another important detail is the attention to the straight lines of the furniture and, of course, the presence of natural elements, such as plants, stones and others.

The origin of Scandinavian decoration

Coming from the Nordic countries, the Scandinavian style was born in 1853, when the Swedish painter Carl Larsson gained notoriety by portraying in his works the daily life at home with his wife, the also artist Karin Larsson. Currently, the couple’s residence is a museum and cultural space in Born in Sundborn, Sweden.

Over time, Scandinavian decor spread around the world. Around here, it usually gains tropical touches in order to embrace a little of the Brazilianness of the homes, but still preserves the main characteristics of the style.

Rooms with Nordic decor

Below, check out seven environments that bet on Nordic decor.

• In the living room designed by architect Barbara Dundes, one of the walls has been fitted with stones to transmit tranquility and peace. In addition, the neutral and calm colors create a light environment to live and rest.

• The design inspiration for the Très Arquitetura office comes from the combination of modern style with touches of minimalism. In the living room, the idea was to create a cozy and timeless environment, marked by the Scandinavian characteristics present in the wood and white tones of the space.

• In this project, the architect Juliana Cascaes sought to unite minimalism and functionality. To this end, she bet on the use of Scandinavian design, its clean forms and the use of lighting in favor of the environment, making the elements used stand out.

• The simplicity of the Scandinavian style is striking in this project signed by Histórias de Casa in partnership with Suvinil. In the living room, the light tones Luar and Chão Batido create a neutral background to highlight the hardwood floor and guarantee warmth to the environment.

• Designed by architect Bianca da Hora at CasaCor SP 2023, the Vastu loft translates the Japanese style well, which is a combination of Japanese and Scandinavian design. The space delicately explores different textures and natural tones, in rustic and contemporary versions. The wooden panel, by Ornare, is the great highlight of the environment.

• In this minimalist living room, architect Magali Puerari opted for custom furniture, by Criere, to evoke Scandinavian air. The carpentry in a light tone brings coziness and warms the environment, in addition to highlighting the functionality and practicality with the very intelligent use of space, an important characteristic of the Scandinavian style.

• In the environment designed by Ricardo Van Steen for Mobilia Tempo, the Scandinavian style is marked by the strong presence of wooden furniture that stands out once morest the white backdrop of the walls, carpet, upholstery and other items. Super inviting!
