Light, cozy, and warm—these are the words that describe Scandinavian interior design. This style features plenty of wooden elements, natural materials, and emphasizes light colors and functionality. Walls are usually painted white, while neutral-colored furniture and light wood create a perfectly cozy atmosphere. Fabrics and various textures are used abundantly and layered together, all in neutral, pastel shades. Significant attention is given to décor, with a preference for handcrafted furniture and art pieces. Leather, fur, and various rugs are also used. Soft furnishings are an integral part of this interior style, adding an extra layer of comfort and warmth to the home.
For a light, cozy, and warm home interior, we recommend pairing it with lightweight curtain fabrics that blend seamlessly into the overall design without overpowering the created warmth. When choosing daytime curtains, the designer advises opting for fabrics with light patterns, netting, or a “raindrop” effect, and avoiding heavier daytime materials like crepe. For nighttime curtains, it’s best to choose fabrics with a “naturalistic” pattern and soft colors, while avoiding heavy dimout velvets. This approach will keep the windows and the overall home interior from feeling too heavy. Often, for Scandinavian interiors, the designer also suggests choosing one type of curtain, which could be denser daytime curtains, intermediate layers, or simply nighttime curtains.
