How To Decorate Scandinavian

In this video, I go over how to decorate in the Scandinavian interior design style! After the success of my interior design style video, I really wanted to extend the series and dive deep into Scandinavian design to create a buying guide for Scandi Design.

You may have noticed my background is a little different in this video! We had a burst pipe in my old apartment 😭 and we are in an Airbnb for a couple of months. So the house tour I had planned is put on hold until the new year! Sorry folks! ❤️

I grew up in Northern Europe. We love white, cream, beige, light, big windows, open windows and doors, candles, heaters, fireplaces, plants inside, wood smell, macrame, straw, wool, linen, evergreen branches, but also anything green winter time like cranberry bush. It's ok to bring anything inside from outside - plants, sticks and stones and even animals. Parents made us take the animals back. As far as color goes, we were happy with yellow sun, green forest/grass and blue sea/sky. Orange/red sunset was extra special.

As a Scandinavian, I fully approve this video! Tack tack! 🇸🇪

There is also variation within the Scandinavian style that’s worth pointing out. For example, the Danish style has more international mid-century elements with metal materials (see Arne Jacobsen), the Swedish style is generally more derived from traditional carpentry and more of a modernist interpretation of a traditional style (see Carl Malmsten and Josef Frank), and the Finnish style is a bit of a mix of the two being very much based on wooden techniques—like the Swedish style—but with more avant garde forms like the Danish style (See Alvar Aalto). Really enjoying your videos!

I learned more watching 2 blogs than a lifetime of HGTV. Thank you, can't wait to track down more!

[kimberlywilkins]

Why am I just finding you? You explain everything so well. Building my forever home (love FLW) but still want warm spaces. Thank you!

As a designer myself, I look at a lot of design YouTube. I enjoy yours the most because you offer solid advice without pretension.

In north Norway the sun is gone for some places more than two months in mid winter. It gets dark around 2 - half past 2 pm, we have a kind of dim daylight between 10 am and 2 pm. In Svalbard it's even darker, but then we have sun around the clock in mid summer.

I've always loved Sandnavian design. I'm adopted but my adoptive father is Finnish and visiting my grandparents home as a kid I just loved it. It was so beautiful the Finnish traditional style. My Ukki made his own furniture, all wood, he even built the house all on his own.

I love how informative you are, without being condescending. You acknowledge that people have differing tastes, and one preference is not better than another. Thank you. You have a new subscriber in me 💚

As a Scandinavian (Stockholm, Sweden) it is really interesting to learn about what people in the North America considers “Scandinavian style”. I think all the furniture in my home are designed in Sweden or Denmark, with some design elements from Finland added. However, it certainly doesn’t look much like the what you showed in this video. For instance, I have no issues at all using printed curtains or throw pillows. And I love to use art and kitchen utensils that I picked up when traveling.

This is hands-down best interior channel!!! You're super informative. I am a mix of boho and minimalist style, would love to see a more detailed video on that.

[nataliehansen]

I found this video was the best and most informative one I previewed on YouTube.

Finally a dude who explains it clear and short.

Ten years ago I was given an antique danish bentwood leather chair and fell in love. I replaced my furniture through the years around the chair.

[elisabethbjuhr]

You get us! With a 3 day snowstorm outside I love my cozy, bright home.

[andreaandrea]

You are THE MOST PROFESSIONAL guide to design! I am really really impressed. Thank you for all your hard work! (You make it LOOK effortless/seamless).

I love the Scandi style, but I recently discovered “Japandi” style. I would love to see a video on that since I think it’s going to be all over the place in 2021

Yes here in Scandinavia carpets are considered dirty and disgusting. We don't wear shoes indoors and need our floors to feel clean. Therefore carpets doesn't add the feeling of coziness to us. So not that weird when you think about it 😀

As a Norwegian American, I welcome and love this ♥️♥️
