Scandinavian interior design: go for timeless and stylish
The Scandinavian living style has existed since the 1930s, but only made its rise in the 1950s because of the Lunning Prize. This prize was awarded annually to two leading Scandinavian designers. These days, Scandinavian living is still popular and the style matches well with DETJER furniture. Indeed, it is a timeless style in which minimalism, simplicity and functionality play a major role.

What is a Scandinavian interior design?
Simplicity, minimalism and functionality are paramount in a Scandinavian style of living. Timeless design classics also play a big role in this. Something we at DETJER can greatly appreciate. Scandinavians also speak of "hygge. This is a way of life that revolves around doing things that make life more beautiful. It also has to do with simplicity, coziness, comfort and warmth, and this is reflected in Scandinavian furnishings. It's all about quality over quantity.

What colors fit into a Scandinavian interior?
The Scandinavian style of living is known for its use of white tones and light colors. Therefore, the walls are often painted beige, light gray or white. In addition, pastel shades and possibly some darker tones such as dark gray or black are used. By the way, this does not mean that color is not used, but this is done subtly through accessories such as a lamp or table book. Nature is of paramount importance in Scandinavia and this is clearly reflected in the Scandinavian style of living through the use of wooden furniture, among other things. In addition, wood provides atmosphere and brings warmth to the interior.
