4 keys to the Nordic style

#1 Luminosity

As we have mentioned before, light is the fundamental element of Nordic decoration. The aim is to maximise the brightness of the rooms, either by the entry of natural light into balconies or windows; or, using artificial lights (preferably white light) placed in strategic places. 

As for natural light, avoid placing large objects in front of the windows that can provide shade. We also recommend that you use curtains made of light fabrics, to let light through. For your curtains, opt for fabrics such as linen, cotton or silk; and always in neutral or light colors. 

#2 Light Tones

The color white is the "king" of Nordic decoration. It is the main protagonist in ceilings, walls and furniture. White helps to reflect light; so it adds a plus of luminosity to the different rooms of the house. 

One of the keys to Nordic decoration is this search for visual cleanliness; so light colors (white, beige and gray) are the most used in this type of decoration. Light tones are also used in wood, copper or brass.

In the Nordic style, the most intense colors or prints are relegated to decorative elements and textiles; bringing dynamism to the decoration.

#3 Natural Elements

Nature is one more decorative element in this style; so wood is the "queen" of materials. Wooden floors in light tones are widely used in this decorative style, as they create a greater sense of light; in addition to providing extra warmth. 

The woods most commonly used in this decorative style are pine, beech, maple and oak.

Wood is not only used for floors, but is also the main protagonist in the finishes of furniture and decorative accessories. 

Wicker and bamboo are generally used for decorative elements or auxiliary furniture.

#4 Simplicity

Simplicity is possibly the word that best defines Nordic-style decorations. Environments that convey calm, order and brightness. Nordic environments tend to be minimalist, comfortable and functional spaces. It is a type of practical decoration, where different spaces and corners are used without overloading the environments.
