The Skandis' trick is to take the best of nature and refine it with a Scandinavian, straightforward signature. Light, airy shapes and delicate colors - combined with lots of light wood, white and natural materials such as linen, cotton and leather. Colorful glass and artistic, organic shapes set accents. Focus on the essentials, without elaborate accessories and frills. This is how you can transform your home into a simple, beautiful feel-good paradise.
Reduction to the essentials is all well and good - but how do the Skandis manage to make their dining room look so appealing?
1. focus on classics: invest in iconic chairs from Carl Hansen, Finn Juhl, Gubi, &Tradition and Vitra - these have an incredibly strong presence and stylish aesthetic with a timeless allure that never loses its value.
2. mix and (not) match: combine the different shapes creatively and carefree with each other - angular and organic, expansive and delicate - for extra excitement at your table.
3. color focus: Stay (mostly) in one color family and play with different shades of your favorite color. If you like it more colorful, make sure that at least two chairs have the same color family - this ensures a certain calm and harmony - despite the creative charm.
