Take advantage of modular furniture and style your home according to your needs. Small spaces might require a L-shaped sofa, which can be taken apart and rearranged when guests visit. To add personality to white spaces, add pops of colour and/or indoor greenery.
To avoid building up a claustrophobic environment, reduce visual clutter and free up space by keeping to simple, lean designs. The more space you see, the bigger your room will feel. Try to keep to a colour scheme to highlight accent pieces, but take care not to overdo it. Keep patterns as simple and as minimal as possible, so that your personality comes through without being overbearing.
Scandinavian design is all about finding beauty and practicality in simple things. Keep things clean and minimal by only retaining the essential pieces, leaving room for one or two accents. Use light colours or pastels to avoid giving the feel of too much “decorative conversation”. To maintain a touch of warmth, use soft textures such as carpets for a balanced Scandinavian room.
