Emulating Personal Touches In Scandinavian Style Interior Designs

The Scandinavian style is fast becoming a fan-favorite amongst the residents of Singapore. Its clean aesthetic, cozy vibe, and neutral palette are all perfectly suited for homeowners who want their abodes to look welcoming and stylish at the same time. However, this style looks even better when you can bring in some personal touches to spruce it up even more. Here’s how you can do that:

1. What’s your hobby?

And what is more personal than showcasing your hobby? So, if you play an instrument? Showcase it! Got a book collection? Get a statement-worthy bookcase! Love collecting quotes? Build a tasteful gallery wall!

2. Get creative with wood

You must be thinking, “How can I possibly personalize something like that?” Well, don’t worry. All you have to do is consult your designer on how to add some customized patterns on such surfaces. The accent wall in this image is a great example of this technique.

3. Dark colours

The idea is to add a rugged or bold appeal to leech away the impersonal look of such spaces. Dark colors fight off the starkness and the right texture/pattern can make a lot of difference in the overall perception of the ambiance.

4. Props always matter

You can elevate the Scandinavian aspects of such spaces and add personal touches by hand-picking the right props: a live-edge accent tray with food items, Scand-industrial bar stools, and themed light fixtures are all a great option.

5. Showcase your closet/wardrobe

You can opt for a walk-in closet with sliding doors or glass-encased wardrobes to get the desired effect.
