Are Scandi Interiors Still Fashionable for the End of 2022 and the Beginning of 2023?
To give you a short answer: yes. Definitely.
The Scandi interior has never really gone out of style. It is the the epitome of timeless. There is something for everyone to love about it. It’s clean; it’s simple; it can be dressed up or down; it can be modern or rustic – it suits every taste. It’s especially fashionable to renters, who perhaps have to (maybe unwillingly) live in very white homes, which is a staple of the Scandi look. So, it’s affordable too.
But how do you implement the Scandi aesthetic in your home? What are the marks of a Scandi interior design trend? We’ve got a breakdown of what makes Scandi, Scandi, and how you can apply it to your home.
Bleached and light furniture
This is where the Scandi interior tends to branch off. If you are looking at Japandi (a mix of Japanese and Scandi interior design that’s catching fire at the moment), you’re likely to see that the accessories and furniture contrast with the light and airy feel of the room. That’s mainly the Japanese influence. Scandi interior design favour furniture and even floors that are wooden with a light tone. It’s why a mark of a Scandi home has become the sun-bleached light furniture and floors. To add to the rustic feel of the room, you’ll see chairs made of straw or rattan and tables made of driftwood. But you’d be better off with a well-manufactured floor. You can find light-toned floors for any room at www.woodfloorwarehouse.co.uk that will fit your aesthetic and be easy to install.
Light and airy
Scandi interiors have a very light and calm atmosphere made possible by a bright colour palette. The concept tends to stick to neutrals, and if there is colour, it’s very pale. Taking a glance over Scandi interior photos, you’re going to see a lot of white and sand colours. This is to maximise the amount of natural light in the room, which, as we go on to explain, is very important to the concept. Tall windows are preferable, with light curtains, so that the space can really bathe in the sunlight.
Natural and rustic
One of the defining features of Scandi interior design is the emphasis on nature. All your furniture and designs are simple and not overly processed. You can play around with natural materials like wood, stone, and leather. A lot of textures can be incorporated with this design, from wool to leather, and of course, a lot of plants to create this nature-loving space.
Because of this natural environment, wooden floors are a must. If you don’t fancy spending lots of money on solid wood flooring, LVT flooring is a great affordable alternative. It’s also waterproof, which makes it useful in rooms like bathrooms and kitchens, both of which can look quite clinical. An LVT floor will allow it to keep that natural, rustic look and allow you to splash as much as you want without damaging it like solid wood floors.
