What are the key characteristics of Scandi Style?

Simplicity 

The main characteristic of Scandi Style is most certainly simplicity. Keeping your lines clean and your spaces open and uncluttered is what truly makes a space Scandi Style! 

 

Light and Neutral Tones 

Often, Scandi Style spaces include lots of different shades of beiges, greys that can help create a more open and airy atmosphere.
