What is Scandinavian architecture?
Nordic homes have clean lines and basic shapes. They incorporate nature into their architecture by using timber and other natural materials. In response to the Nordic climate, uninhabited large-scale windows are important as they bring in natural light. Open-plan layouts also help make Scandinavian homes feel lighter and brighter.
What is Scandinavian interior design?
Functional minimalism is the core to Scandinavian interior design. Scandinavian furniture is comfortable and low-key, artwork is soothing and the colour palette is muted. Scandinavian style is often built on a refreshing white canvas – white walls and white floors – with pops of colour added through furniture and (minimal) accessories. Spaces are clutter-free but full of rich textures and warm timber tones.
What is Scandinavian furniture?
Scandinavian furnishings are highly functional and feature simple, straight lines. They are easy to use and have a distinctive purpose in the home. Most Scandinavian furniture is made from timber, but leather and natural materials such as cotton and linen are also popular. Some popular Scandinavian furniture designers include Kai Kristiansen for his #42 dining chair and Hans Wegner for ‘the chair’.

A newly renovated terrace in St Peters needed the final touches to really make this house a home, and one that was representative of it’s colourful owner. This very energetic and enthusiastic client definitely made the project one to remember.
With a big brief to highlight the clients love for fashion, a key feature throughout was her personal ‘rock’ style. Pops of ‘rock' are found throughout and feature heavily in the luxe living areas with an entire wall designated to the clients icons including a lovely photograph of the her parents. The clients love for original vintage elements made it easy to style the home incorporating many of her own pieces. A custom vinyl storage unit finished with a Carrara marble top to match the new coffee tables, side tables and feature Tom Dixon bedside sconces, specifically designed to suit an ongoing vinyl collection.
Along with clever storage solutions, making sure the small terrace house could accommodate her large family gatherings was high on the agenda. We created beautifully luxe details to sit amongst her items inherited which held strong sentimental value, all whilst providing smart storage solutions to house her curated collections of clothes, shoes and jewellery. Custom joinery was introduced throughout the home including bespoke bed heads finished in luxurious velvet and an excessive banquette wrapped in white Italian leather. Hidden shoe compartments are found in all joinery elements even below the banquette seating designed to accommodate the clients extended family gatherings.
