Scandinavian interior style developed under the influence of geographic location, national traditions, reserved and rational character of people of the Nordic countries. The main distinctive features of Scandinavian style are natural materials, light colors, simplicity and laconism of forms.
For Scandinavian interiors, the most common colors are milk-white and light yellow, which emphasize the value of the sunlight for people of these severe lands. Almost the only thing, which is different from the overall color scheme and adds the contrast – is textile (often, it is bright plaids and decorative pillows).
