Tips for a Balanced Living Space
Maximize Natural Lighting
What is the best way to create a balanced contemporary space? Take advantage of natural lighting! See how in this room, large windows allow light to float through, brightening and opening the space.
Keep Your Space Clutter-Free
To maintain balance, keep it clutter-free. This Scandinavian-style room revolves around a clean, simple design. The openness allows the area to breathe and become an inviting, cozy living room.
Minimalist Furniture Maximizes Space
Add simple, functional furniture. A simple piece of furniture such as the shell dowel armchair retains its function, but doesn’t dominate or overwhelm the room. Another great asset for this space is the wooden sideboard. It provides ample storage for quick cleanups and uncluttering, and adds to the contemporary style of the room.

How to Design a Scandinavian-Style Kitchen
Open Floor Space
One of the most important characteristics of Scandinavian-inspired interiors is natural, open space. Don’t make the dining room and kitchen two separate rooms. Instead, add a simple area rug. It perfectly separates the area while maintaining the openness of the style. This, in combination with the ample natural light, creates a perfectly balanced and functional living space.
Natural Materials
Add natural materials to your design as another great way to create this Nordic style, such as wood. The wooden legs on the minimalist dining chairs and the wooden dining table are great assets to the room. Add plants and other greenery to further achieve this look.
Light, Simple Colors
In addition to using natural materials, use natural colors. A minimalist approach to decorating, simple color schemes help accentuate the natural aesthetics of the Scandinavian style and maintain a calm energy. Place simple, white dining chairs at your table, and add a minimalist white ceramic planter to complete the look.
