We can lay the foundations of resurgence of Swedish culture in general, and design in particular, around the end of the 1930th century. One of the most interesting movements in the field of decoration would start from the great exhibition in Stockholm in 1955: functionalism. But if a second key date for Sweden must be given, this is 55, the year in which the Helsingborg exhibition of household objects, known as the 'HXNUMX', was held, which would become a great influence for manufacturers and artists.
The history of Swedish design is linked to the Industrial Revolution itself, the Scandinavian character and the physical environment itself: The landscapes of Sweden, Norway and Denmark they are the protagonists regarding the color of the houses with Nordic style. The tones of its beautiful landscapes are reflected in the Scandinavian houses. These places characterized by long and dark winters, have homes where spaciousness and space reign. This is because they give great importance to light, which they have to take advantage of when the sun comes out.
Colors They must be neutral to give light to the house. Whites, beiges, light browns and some light blue are the most used in houses with this style. In this way, if you want to decorate your house with a Nordic style, never use bright colors.
With respect to the tissues, we must choose cotton and linen. These are widely used because they come from the nature and geography of the Nordic countries. Striped and floral prints will look great on sofas, curtains or walls.
As for the the furniture You should choose them with straight lines and simple shapes, which will result in calm and balanced environments. Finally if you want to add some decorative element, opt for simple objects and preferably ceramic or glass
