Spotlight: RusTiq. Nordic living at it’s best

The Nordic or Scandinavian style has been taking the interior decor world by storm for the last couple of years. Favouring a clean and uncluttered look, the Nordic trend is coveted by those who seek to embrace a minimalist style with plenty of sleek and sophisticated elements.

What does the Nordic look entail? Trend analysts have identified a few core features of this stunning trend, most of which can be found at RusTiq‘s online store.

Neutrals

From white-washed walls, to soft dove grey and shimmering pastels, the Nordic trend is about subtly with class. This concept helps to define and compliment minimalist, and is a great way to make a smaller interior look much bigger. By increasing natural light refraction, the obsession with neutral colours and simple accessories is a clever way of achieving this, particularly in an apartment where space is limited. This colour palette works in conjunction with similar toned decor accessories. Pairing beautifully with this colour scheme are metallics. Whether glittering gold, brazen bronze or rose pink, metallics are a wonderful way to highlight  neutral tones and add a bit of understated glamour to your space.

Accessories

Simple and clean lines rule in a Nordic-style home. This further enhances the uncluttered feel of the space with a distinct focus on natural materials. Raw timber, glass, marble and steel are characteristic of this look and create additional warmth to the space. Monochrome accessories are also huge in Nordic trends, which help to define softer spaces with a bold feel. Whether it be a patterned rug or a geometric-shaped mirror or shelving, monochrome decor uplifts the colour scheme. Another popular choice for decor accessories are tons of layered textiles. Think (faux) fur skins, powder pastel throws and lots of texture. The more varied the better; give your airy space a grounded and warm feel.

Greenery

Another clever way of warming your space is to incorporate indoor greenery. Sustainable living will always be a trend and one way to encourage this is to invest in plenty of greenery to give your interiors some much needed vibrancy and escape from monotone colours. A tiered or marble top table is perfect for displaying your greenery, while complimenting the layered look and feel of a Nordic style.
