What is the Nordic style?
The Nordic style was born at the beginning of the 20th century in countries such as Sweden, Denmark and Norway, where the cold winter days and their characteristic landscape have been transferred to the interior decoration of the rooms: the furniture, the ornamentation, the textiles and the colour palette reflect the charm of these lands where mountains, woods and snow predominate.
Today it has become one of the most inspiring and desired decorative styles by a large number of interior decoration lovers. The reason for this boom is its ability to survive the different lifestyles and rhythms, adapting to modernity, as well as bringing a personal and subtle charm to the spaces of the house as it combines naturalness, comfort and minimalism!
Although at first this decorative style was extremely purist, over the years, the most daring architects and decoration experts have decided to link it with other contrasting styles such as industrial or vintage. This has generated some heated debates: many people find it interesting and attractive, while others consider it a total antithesis.
The positive thing about these fusions is that they can inspire you and open the doors of your imagination so that you can choose the combination of decorative styles that you most prefer for your surroundings. Never forget balance!

Remember that the Scandinavian company also promotes “Less is More” when it comes to furniture.
