Optical gray, multilayer textiles, decorative storage systems - these and 10 other popular trends from the Scandinavian style you can apply in any interior.

Of course, such colors are not chosen by chance. First, there is little light in the north, and light shades are used to increase insolation. Secondly, the cold color scheme works on a visual increase in space. It is these reasons that determine that cold shades in the finish can be safely used in other interiors.
2 Saturated green and blue colors
Recently, the Scandinavian style passes from completely white in deep bright shades. And not only in the decor and accents. Lovers scandy color whole walls and rooms with rich green and deep blue, and this trend can be easily applied in any modern room.

3 Natural Tree
The Scandinavian style promotes the eco-approach to the interior, so in the finishing and furniture of Scandinavians, it is often possible to see a natural tree. Russian Skand transformed this approach somewhat, and more often applies substitutes for wood, but still searching for ways to make the interior is more natural. And this should learn from Scandinavians.
