3 Key Characteristics of Scandinavian Furniture and Design

Scandinavian design has a strong affinity between nature, abstract and natural shapes, and harsh and soft materials and surfaces. It's a design style standing the test of time owing to its simplicity and ability to replicate at home. Here are the key characteristics of any Scandinavian furniture you can buy in Singapore or abroad.

#1 Detail

The soft and hard furnishings and the overall design theme sets in layers, textures and natural finishes. Natural lighting, layering, diverse textures, blending of rough and soft finishes and materials, and white are all characteristics of Scandinavian style furniture. White is the foundation of Scandinavian design and should be used to create an authentic Scandi design.

#2 Primary Materials

You will see solid wood furniture at stores in Singapore with Scandinavian designs. Scandinavian style materials embrace nature - stone or timber floors, wooden statement furniture, hemp, sisal, or wool carpets, and cashmere and soft furnishings. Natural light should be able to bounce off of furniture and hard surfaces. Soft furniture and other surfaces should be inviting and comfortable.

#3 Theme Colours

White is the primary colour choice for Scandinavian furniture and design. You can also incorporate greyed down hues like neutral greys, gentle grey greens, and soft duck egg blues. Using raw wood or a bold accent colour through artworks and accessories can also add colour to your design. Another option is using neutral tones of black for the wooden bed and photo frames in your home in Singapore or deeper tones in upholstery or cloth to provide definition.
