5 Scandinavian trends
Scandinavian trends stand out for their ability to blend functionality, minimalism, and a connection with nature, creating living spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and calming. Maison Usinex wanted to jump on the bandwagon by offering you four new models that perfectly embody the Scandinavian spirit: the Kylma, the Norr, the Tromso, and the Mökki. Explore these five trends to discover whether the style reflects your personality.
Where does Scandinavian style come from?
The Scandinavian style emerged in the mid-20th century, when the modern movement came to life through architecture and design. As its name suggests, this simplistic, minimalist, and functional style originated in the Nordic countries of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland.
Elegant minimalism
Minimalism is at the heart of Scandinavian design. This approach is characterized by simplicity that reflects an atmosphere of omnipresent calm, inviting relaxation. As with the Norr house, beauty lies in the purity of a harmonious environment. Simple shapes, minimal clutter… in short, everything in the house has a purpose. The colors are fairly understated with a touch of natural wood, which maximizes the feeling of space (and storage).
Natural light
Making the most of natural light is another pillar of Scandinavian design, essential for countering the long winter months in this region… much like those in Quebec. Homes are designed to capture as much light as possible through large windows, as can be seen with the Kylma‘s glazing. This abundance of natural light plays a crucial role in creating more welcoming spaces. The combination of outdoor light and soft indoor lighting is essential for providing maximum comfort throughout the day.
Functionality above all
Every element of a Scandinavian home is chosen for its functionality and user-friendliness. The design focuses on creating practical and comfortable living spaces, without neglecting ingenious storage solutions. Interior design is often integrated to harmonize with the overall aesthetic of the home, as in the Mökki. The key takeaway: every corner has a purpose!
Connection with nature
A love of nature is a recurring theme that manifests itself through the use of natural materials such as wood and stone. These are chosen not only for their natural essence, but also for their ability to create a comfortable atmosphere for the home’s residents. All of these characteristics can be found in the Tromso. What’s more, if you have a passion for indoor plants and flowers, they add a touch of freshness and life that blends perfectly with the Scandinavian style.
Earthy colors
White is the dominant color when it comes to Scandinavian homes because of its simplicity and purity. In addition, the color palette is largely inspired by nature, with earthy tones, deep blues, and soothing greens, as well as neutral grays. These colors, in addition to adding depth and variety, are used to create a calm and restful atmosphere, as do the various touches of wood.
By adopting these five trends, you can transform any space into a haven of peace for you and your family. Whether you aspire to the uncompromising grandeur of Kylma, the perfect balance of Norr, the functionality of Mökki, or the practicality of Tromso, Maison Usinex has designed a collection that will transform your home into a true sanctuary.
