For simple style that will enhance the brightness of any space, you can’t go past Scandinavian style. Scandi focuses on simplicity, minimalism and functionality ensuring spaces are well used and limit clutter. Whites, greys, black and browns are frequently used to create a clean and calming look. Pops of colours such as dusty pinks and rich sea greens can be used for added accents while walls are kept neutral to allow furniture and art to stand out.
One of the main pillars of the design is the style of Scandinavian flooring. The key to choosing the right Scandi style flooring is in its minimalism, allowing it to flow seamlessly between spaces. By choosing the right style, you can create a natural and elegant foundation to your minimalist space.
