6. Do not use bright colors as base pallet

0 comments

Even though white is the most common wall color in Scandinavia, please jump over the light colors. If you want something unique, go for gray, dark green or dark blue. We have never seen a light blue wall in Scandinavia. Can you see which of these homes is a Swedish?

 

 

Swedish antiques. Vintage furniture at its best.

    11. No fluorescent lights or artificial plants

    Please avoid florescent light, both the built-in lights and bulbs. With a softer warm light the feeling in the room will be more homely. We seldom use bulbs starker than 40W. And regarding flowers, never ever use artificial plants. Get the real deal. Bring nature in.

    10. No vinyl flooring

    Get real wooden flooring, or tiles. Yet again, focus on the authentic. And bring nature in. Yes, it might cost you a little bit more, but it is worth it. The most common parquet in Scandinavia is the "herring bone". See wrong and right below. We are sure you can see the difference.

    9. No empty walls

    Going back to the need for accessories in Scandinavia. Be proud of your stories, may it be photographs or memories from journeys. Even creations. The walls give you an opportunity to present yourself. Show your specific uniqueness and create warmth.
