The peaceful blend of soft hues, clean and modern lines and useful yet warm elements that make each area one you want to settle in and spend some time appreciating has made Scandinavian interior design style waves in North America over the last decade or so. While Scandinavian-inspired décor may be simply adapted for every room in the house, Scandinavian-inspired dining rooms are a wonderful place to start, especially if you’re searching for a guaranteed approach to make your home seem cosier.
After a long day at work, the dining room should be a gathering spot for catching up with loved ones at home or hosting friends and family for long, slow dinner parties or cocktails. “Scandinavian dining rooms are quite basic, and achieving the aesthetic is very easy,” explains Benjamin Stensen, owner and interior designer of The Norsemen Home Remodeling. “To pull off this design, use simple monochromatic hues.” Large windows that allow plenty of natural light are also a fantastic way to accomplish this look, according to Stensen. If your dining room doesn’t have a lot of windows, you may always mimic it by removing superfluous curtains and adding mirrors to reflect the light that does come in. “Do not overcrowd the room with heavy furniture, as this will utterly detract from the overall appearance,” advises Stensen. “Make sure to choose a modern, bright, and stylish design, and give each piece plenty of breathing room.”
A tiny potted plant or a corner plant will be sufficient if you want to add a splash of colour, according to Stensen. “A modest plant will not only add personality to the area, but a hint of the outside aura will also feel comforting,” says the designer. “In your wooden furniture, consider blending light and medium brown tones,” says Sawinery founder Robert Johnson. “With a variety of oak or other wooden chairs, a large table, dried flowers, and appropriate artwork, the dining area should feel warm and inviting.”
