The Scandinavian interior design is characterized by minimalism, simplicity, and functionality. Although the Scandinavian design has been around since the 1950s, it still remains a popular trend in interior design today. Belonging to the school of modernism, Scandinavian design is a design movement characterized by a focus on functionalism and simplicity. It also includes the use of natural materials, such as leather, wood, and hemp. Furthermore, a Scandinavian interior design is often influenced by a connection to nature, which combines natural shapes, abstraction, and the use of natural elements. Today we are taking a look at some gorgeous Scandinavian living rooms, and we are ready to offer some small tips on decor, and if you need basics, go here.
A Scandinavian design makes use of wooden elements not only in the flooring but also in the furniture and fixtures. Thus, a Scandinavian house usually has wooden coffee tables and chairs for its furniture.

For instance, copper sconces and brass pendants are installed in a wooden ceiling to add glimmer and shine to the entire space.
