Scandinavian Living and Furnishing with Scandinavian Decoration

Scandinavian Living

Living and Furnishing in a Scandinavian Way

Honestly, what do you first think of when you hear the term “Scandinavian style”? A large furniture store with four letters or Pippi Longstocking? Doesn’t matter, because neither is exactly right. Scandinavian style is characterized by the fact that the rooms are bright, simple and functional. The predominant materials for "Scandinavian living and furnishing" come directly from nature, above all wood, but also beautiful fabrics belong to it. Elegance is less important than warmth, happiness and function. This results from the origin in the far north: where it is dark for a long time, you want to live light and cozy.

Wherever you may be, you are surrounded by rough nature, you reach for what is there to furnish yourself. And where there are only a few neighbors and you are at home a lot when the weather is bad, you don't have to brag about the furnishings, but feel right at home in it. This brings us to perhaps the most important characteristic of Scandinavian style: despite the simplicity, functionality and clear lines, Scandinavian furnished homes are very cozy and radiate a perfect mixture of freshness, warmth and modernity.

Scandinavian Living - How do you do that?

There are a few simple tricks, so that you can furnish your apartment in a Scandinavian way. In order to enjoy this great feeling, you don't have to renew everything right away. You can also get a touch of Nordic lifestyle with beautiful Scandinavian decorations and other details. The secret lies in nature. The highlight of Scandinavian living is to create a feeling of brightness, warmth and a feeling of security while keeping everything practical at the same time. You can do that too, no matter how big or small your home is and what other style prevails in there. A tip for Scandinavian living: Spacious rooms. Especially when you don't have a lot of space, less is often more. Use the one beautiful eye-catcher flower pot in the hallway or on the windowsill, instead of a whole armada of decoration. This looks pretty and leaves space. The great natural baskets in different sizes are perfect for this. You can find them in the KAUZANA online shop. They are designed in Scandinavia and produced in a Fair Trade project in Africa. The sustainable baskets are a beautiful Scandinavian decoration and set Nordic accents even in the bathroom or kitchen. Hide all the little stuff or loose hodgepodge of utensils in stylish baskets. So you fill your home with Scandinavian style of order and Scandinavian feeling of living. Speaking of the kitchen: wood, linen, organic cotton - these are the ingredients for a cozy, stylish and sustainable kitchen. Dishcloths made of organic cotton and tablecloths made of linen in light gray and natural tones go with everything and exude tidy, simple cosiness that is often found in the north. Beautifully designed wooden boards made of light wood set natural accents and are unbeatably practical.

You can find effective Scandinavian decoration for every room. Scented candles with ingredients from Northern European meadows and forests packed in beautiful clay cups with wooden lids - another Scandinavian touch on the shelf. A chic basket bag or shopper in a simple Nordic style goes with everything and looks great in the wardrobe - if you are not carrying a little piece of Scandinavia through the city with it. With the little Nordic beauties from the KAUZANA online shop, you can get your "Scandinavian living" in no time at all without renovating the whole house. Here and there, a little tidy up to make some space for your Scandinavian living style.
