When I say Scandinavian style, I always have in mind large living rooms, diaphanous curtains, cozy sofas and antique decorations that give personality to every room. Spotted on www2.skeppsholmen.se, the house we present you today has the ‘accessories’ mentioned above, and a lot more: a welcoming jumble of colors and wide glass surfaces that let natural light come inside all day long. What I specially love at the house presented below is the mix of old structure and new insertions, the perfect receipt for those who want a makeover for the mansion inherited from their grandparents. The Scandinavian inspired house pays homage to the structure’s history. So, keep in mind: having a 100-year-old home can provide an ideal canvas on which to layer you more modern style. It allows you to maintain a comfortable and balanced mix of old and new under the same roof. Also, stick with a simple palette! Much of the appeal of the Scandinavian approach to decorating comes from the pared-down, neutral palette. Putty gray, natural wood and white plus a metallic hue create a peaceful mood; red, white and wood are cheery and fun.

Also visit this Scandinavian apartment with 2 terraces.
