Scandinavian Interior Design Trends for Autumn / Winter 2016

Check out these fun new trends from Scandinavia! Strong colors mixed with copper and gold tones characterize these styles. 

Here are the specific trends:

• Brass is in.
  Whether tabletops, candlesticks, or mirrors, this fall, you can't escape this fascinating metal. A nice bonus- over time brass forms a patina that radiates both individuality authenticity.

• Color is back!
  Dive into strong colors like mint green, indigo, burgundy, pale violet and emerald green.

• Velvety-soft feels
  Velvet is all the rage, and so are super soft fabrics. Get your hands on cozy fabrics in bold colors. 

• Tables, tables, tables,
  Right now style is all about the surfaces. A simple, uncomplicated look plus natural materials and handmade ceramics and glasses are evidence of this modern sense of style.

• Natural look
  Natural materials for decorations, lamps and furniture exude charm and classic comfort in a pleasant contrast to minimalist decor.  Bamboo furniture and rattan deco are a good start.

• Linen returns!
  Napkins, tablecloths or aprons - linen is lightweight, easy to clean and in. 

• Open shelves
  Shelves with sides are a thing of the past. Today they have open sides, which makes for a light, airy feel and makes rooms appear larger.

• Large plants
  Still in vogue: plants. Simply follow your personal taste, because it does not matter which plants you have in your home. Whether you use a minimalist approach or add a jungle to your living room - green up your home!

• Patterns are out
  Duvets, pillows and cushions are heading toward small and medium-sized designs. Large graphic patterns are currently experiencing a strong decline in popularity.

• Comfort
  Benches and chairs are a must in the home. Whether in the living room, bedroom or nursery, make sure you have somewhere comfy to relax.
