The Scandinavian design movement was not fully recognised until the 1950’s, but since then the minimalist design has moved into prominent homes and setting the trend for unusual and stylish furniture. Scandi-style interiors originate from Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland and is characterised by simplicity, functionality and stylish minimalism. It often incorporates neutral colours, wooden floors, airy bright light, a touch of nature, functional furniture pieces with innovative fabrics and eco-friendly features perfect for contemporary homes.

We are simply smitten with these stunning Scandinavian interiors:
