This week we take inspiration from the essence of Scandinavian Design. Scandinavian interiors are renowned for their simplicity, functionality, and connection to nature. This design philosophy embraces a minimalist approach, creating spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly functional and relaxing. Here’s how you can bring this serene style into your home this summer:
Maximize natural light by keeping window treatments minimal. Opt for sheer curtains or shades that allow sunlight to flood your rooms. Light-colored walls, ideally in shades of white or soft pastels, will reflect the sunlight, making your space feel larger and more open.
Choose furniture pieces that are both beautiful and practical. Scandinavian design favors clean lines and multifunctional pieces that save space and enhance usability. Think sleek sofas with hidden storage or minimalist dining tables that double as workspaces.
Incorporate nature into your home with potted plants and fresh flowers. Placing fresh blooms in simple vases or leafy plants in neutral pots can immediately enhance the atmosphere. Dwayne’s seasonal favorites include Birds of Paradise to add a vibrant tropical touch; or Pothos, a resilient and versatile plant perfect for hanging planters or trailing along shelves.
