What is it about Scandinavian style that makes it still ever so popular? Over the last 10 years ‘Scandi’ style has found its place in the design style files more and more.

Nordic influences on this style are that it is often nature based, understated and organic materials like timber are important. When you think of Scandinavian design think clever, simple design ideas that work.

While IKEA is the undisputed home of Scandinavian design in Australia, this style is so prolific right now that ‘Scandi’ furniture and accessories can be found in a variety of retail stores from the likes of the Reject Shop right through to designer boutiques.

Simplicity and function

It’s also about balance. Simplicity balanced with function – less is more with clever design ideas that make life work better. Minimalist balanced with comfort – clean lines in furniture but with a priority in feeling good. Neutral colours balanced with texture which gives the feeling of coziness. White walls teamed with woolly throws or a gorgeous thick rug on the floor.

Sometimes the neutral palette can be seen with splashes of colour notably grey or blue. Greenery is always welcome in Scandi design as is black and white prints on walls.
