INTRODUCTION
The Nordic ecological climate and geological features are defined by long, cold winters. Some regions showcase glacial landscapes that feel like a fairytale world of ice and snow. These conditions have shaped the Nordic spirit—resilient, vibrant, and deeply connected to nature. This has inspired a style that emphasizes sustainability, simplicity, purity, clarity, and freshness. As a result, Nordic-style interior design focuses on bright, natural elements to shape the overall space, reflecting a slow-living lifestyle that fosters interaction between people and nature, and a dialogue between the soul and the surroundings.
The ideal color palette for Nordic style is typically composed of 80% white, 10% wood tones, 5% gray, and 5% bold accent colors for highlights. It also places importance on natural lighting and light-colored schemes. The use of natural materials such as wood, rattan, cotton and linen, exposed brick walls, wooden flooring, and indoor greenery brings nature indoors. Alternatively, beige-gray artistic coatings on walls evoke a sense of peace and comfort. Bold lighting fixtures and soft furnishings in vibrant colors add energy to the space. Though the material selection in Nordic style is minimal and refined, it enriches spatial layering and creates an effortlessly balanced aesthetic.
