Scandinavian design has a serious claim to the title of being the most popular interior style all over the world, as it comes from the Nordic countries of Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway. The style incorporates the Danish idea of “Hygge,” which emphasizes warmth, calm, and coziness in living. When it comes to the colors, Nordic design goes for the neutral shades that are often found in nature, accompanied by the use of light, free of clutter, and generous support from natural light. In recent times, Scandinavian design has been mixed very well with Indian homes so wonderfully that it has been able to suit all the styles: contemporary, Boho, Japandi, and even the tropical ones. Below are some really good examples of how bringing in elements of Scandinavian design can make a great difference to Indian homes.
Stylistic Line Art | Studio Tilt, Siolim, Goa
The Scandinavian concept is built around creating an experience of the very stillness, warmth, and serenity, among three distinctly themed villas in North Goa. The interior is so light and minimalist that it is a holiday home that is both calm and indulgent at the same time.

A 3BHK row house of 1700 sq. ft known as Casa UNO has opened up, been freed of clutter, and has had the soothing spirits of Scandinavian palates. The material choice and layouts are such that every corner of the house is comfort-packed, breathable, and inviting at the same time without any effort.

Cosy Scandinavian Abode | Studio Skapa Architects, Bangalore
The house interweaves the Scandinavian, or rather the Danish, power of simplicity, and a little Spanish.
