Keep it Uncluttered

One of the truest characteristics of Scandinavian home design is making sure spaces are well used and limited in unnecessary clutter. Storage is widely used in the form of cabinets and shelving. Keep these tips in mind when getting ready to declutter your home:

Start small
Have a place for everything
Declutter all the duplicates (you don't need multiples of everything)
Ask yourself if you would buy it again

The bottom line is that a lack of clutter creates a calm and more serene space which falls in line with the whole Scandinavian design concept.

Let the Light In

Natural light is an important element in creating the perfect Scandinavian home design. The easiest way to ensure you're getting abundant natural light is to limit window treatments such as curtains and blinds. If your home doesn't see much natural light be sure to add a variety of lighting around your home. Floor and table lamps as well as pendant lights using warmer tone light builbs are a great way to add the appearance of natural light.

Less is More Approach

As you can see from the furniture featured in Scandinavian home design, clean lines are the way to go.

Furniture needs to be functional as well as comfortable, with decor being minimal so that the space doesn't feel crowded.

Combining textures adds dimension to the room.
