The Scandicraft Trend

Whilst so often committed to Hygge, it's easy to forget that Scandinavian style is a veritable powerhouse of options. Ranging from the monochromatic to ones incorporating jewelled and pastel notes, Scandicraft is at the warmer end of Nordic styles.

Whilst starting from a similar foundation to other Nordic styles, Scandicraft transcends them by adopting a more true reflection of nature within the home. At its root, Scandicraft is about mirroring nature in the home.

Natural wood, rattan, linen and sympathetically recycled materials are at the heart of this approach. This allows for vintage and handcrafted pieces to feature against the neutral background. Whilst allowing personality to shine through in each room.

These feature point are all about reinforcing authenticity within a room. Whilst also retaining that simplicity we have come to expect from Nordic styles.

Authenticity and Simplicity

It's also within these accessories that we can softly raise the warmth of a room. Another important point is that neutral tones don't and should not be white. In fact we should aim for a range of 'nude' tones, such as cream, beige or honey.

This isn't a complete move away from minimalism. However it is a move towards combining minimalist foundations, with occasional, and very carefully selected accessories.

This is a reminder that your home is your personal space. And whilst clean, well thought out rooms are peaceful for the mind, It's okay to include elements of irregularity to show the stamp of your personality.

One of the best ways to accessorise your home, whilst still evoking a peaceful, yet nature inspired theme, is to introduce plenty of plants. It's not the goal to create an indoor jungle, rather, to, alongside the natural style, to introduce real elements of the outdoors. This is done as a bridge between what is real, and what is manufactured.

So Scandicraft is a marriage of the clear cut lines of the traditional Nordic styles, and organic, warm, heritage pieces. Whilst also keeping tones as neutral as possible despite the larger colour pallet used. Scandicraft is the perfect way to introduce minimalist Nordic styles into your home, without having to redo the entire house.
