Kare Design: How To Create A Modern Scandi Living Space

Nordic influences and Scandinavian design ideas continue to set the tone in stylish interiors the world over. We are in love with the cool, calm and sophisticated look it creates in the living room. With the help of Kare Design, we bring you a few key ideas to help you implement a modern Scandi design in your home.

Storage as Decor

Beautiful Scandi furniture often doubles as decor in a Nordic living space. Striking cabinets or minimalist shelving are fantastic options to add functionality and flair to your home. Simple baskets, crates and open shelves work wonderfully in a modern Scandi space. Invest in versatile pieces that will enhance your home with Scandinavian-level chic!

Textured Elements

Add comfort and cosiness to your home that is oh so intrinsic of Scandi design. A beautiful area rug, soft furnishings and mixed textiles are ideal in your living space. These soft textures will add much needed warmth to your design and are also a great way to enhance the textural aesthetic of your home.

Hints of Colour

Scandi design does not often involve lots of colour but you can create a cool, calm palette with carefully curated pieces such as artwork, feature lighting and potted plants. Keep it simple and these infuse your space with a modern Scandi look.

Simple Wooden Furniture

Wood is a wonderful way to bring an organic and natural tone to your living space. Invest in a solid wood dining table or coffee table for your living room. Keep it simple and minimalist for a truly inspired Nordic look. Let the beauty of natural wood inspire the tone of your room.
