Today’s post comes via Katrin Björk, Danish blogger extraordinaire. I’ve long been a fan of Katrin, and think you’ll all love her Scandi style as much as I do.
Inspired and influenced by Bauhaus and functionalism, Danish designers and architects have been creating and designing buildings, furniture, textiles, and household objects with big success since the 1950′s. With simple, elegant, and most of all functional designs, the Danes have managed to stay on track and are still producing affordable and accessible items.
Light materials and simple color palettes with the occasional hint of bright color give Danish design a clean and sophisticated look. If you’ve ever read a danish interior design magazine you probably noticed that the walls in Danish houses are almost always white, decorated with simple yet colorful graphic art. Classic teak and modern white/black furniture usually create the typical living-room that is then decorated with colorful pillows, candle holders, lamps, and decorative bowls.
If you are riding the wave of danish design or have ever wished for your home to have more of a scandi touch, here are some items you might like and that might help you bring some simple elegance to your space.
