Dreamy pink Nordic style

In home decoration, pink has to be used with caution. Otherwise, the space would look totally like a kid’s bedroom. In this case, the designer successfully blends the pink tone into the minimalist Nordic style, offering the flat a playful touch without being childish.

Keeping the space simple and bright is the most important principle when choosing furniture. To make sure all colours go well without the bright ones appearing aggressive, the designer applies horizontal separation, a rare technique, on the wall. The designer also places rough wooden decorations in different locations of the flat to make it more sophisticated.Find out more >

Bright colour scheme

Due to the geographical environment and influenced by the artistic development, the Nordic design weighs heavily on the lighting, harmony with the nature, craftsmanship and functionality.

The designer leverages the Nordic light penetration design to bring more natural light in the flat. More bright colours are used indoors to accommodate the same. The designer first sets the main tone with light colours such as light wood, white or beige, then has it adorned by bold colours for the contrast.

Natural materials

Due to the innate geographical characteristics, the Scandinavian has developed a design philosophy which integrates the nature.

Examples are fabric furniture such as fabric sofa and carpets, and ceramic ornaments such as vases. Furniture design often embodies sleek lines which demonstrates the designer’s expertise.
