Style Development & History

About Scandinavian Virtual Staging

Scandinavian is an interior design style inspired by regional trends in Nordic countries which value simplicity, calmness, and functionality. It involves using the bare essentials to create a simple and uncluttered space.

The characteristics of this style are clean lines and simplicity, functional furnishings, soft hues, and natural fibers. Further, the Scandinavian design emphasizes utility, well needed in the harsh, cold Nordic winter climate. It’s all about reducing what is unnecessary and leaving what is essential with the goal of creating a beautiful and cozy space to snuggle up inside.

Historically, Scandinavian minimalism is traceable to the 1930s. And its early proponents were Josef Frank (Sweden), Alvar Aalto and Maija Isola (Finland), and Arne Jacobsen (Denmark). These inventive Scandinavian designers gave birth to the “golden age of Scandinavian design.” And the concepts of functionalism, constructivism, and in some cases surrealism inspired their work.

Further, Scandinavian minimalism originated from the need for endurance and comfort in a challenging climate. The long and harsh winters of these Nordic countries necessitated functional structures that could withstand severe conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Scandinavian virtual staging?

Scandinavian virtual staging style is characterized by clean whites, soothing grays, and natural greens with splashes of playful accents. The textiles are plush, wood tone is light, and furnishings are cozy to create “hygge” (an emotional response to the feeling of comfort or happiness achieved through candle lights, warm blankets, and cozy spaces).

What are the characteristics of Scandinavian design?

Light is the key component in Scandinavian interior design, as well as using subtle, pastel tones with crisp blocks of color and accents. Decluttering is key and it’s all about optimizing space. You’ll also find natural elements featured in everything from furniture to locally spun textiles.

In Sweden, for example, this interior design is known for the concept of “lagom”, meaning “just right.” This relates to minimalism that favors balance, moderation, and sustainability.

Is Scandinavian design still in style?

Scandinavian interior design will always be a classic home interior trend. This decor is very popular among interior designers and those looking for a posh, yet clean look in their home or work environment.

The Scandinavian interior design is timeless!

Why use virtual staging?
