Scandinavian interior I Jodic

Scandinavian design — an aesthetic marked by minimalism and functionality—has been influential since its inception in the early 20th century, but design ideas are still coming into the mainstream from the Nordic region to this day.

Contrary to more sparse, colorless spaces, Scandinavian interior design uses a blend of textures, contrasts, and soft hues to make sleek, modern furniture feel warm and inviting. It's no small feat to be able to exercise restraint in your décor choices while still managing to make a space feel cozy.

And it's no wonder the style is so popular. It speaks to both our tidy tendencies and our desire to live in cozy comfortable settings. Known for its simplicity, function, and connection to the outdoors, the appeal and possibility of Scandinavian design has spread it all over the world.

It there anything as stunningly simple as a Scandinavian interior?
