What is the difference between Nordic style and minimalist style?

Although both share simplicity, Nordic style differs in its emphasis on warmth and comfort (Hygge). It incorporates more natural textures (wood, wool, linen) and a cozy feel, while minimalism can be stricter and colder in its execution.

What types of wood are most common in Scandinavian furniture?

Light-toned woods with subtle grain take center stage. The most commonly used are pine, birch, ash, and, in higher-end versions, light oak. They are typically presented with natural finishes or oil and wax treatments that preserve their original texture.

How can I add color to a Nordic bedroom without disrupting the harmony?

The key is subtlety. Introduce color through textiles (cushions, blankets, bedding), an abstract artwork, or houseplants. Opt for desaturated, nature-inspired colors, such as earth tones, greens, and grayish blues.

Is this style suitable for small bedrooms?

It's ideal. The light color palette, the use of mirrors to reflect light, and furniture with legs that leave the floor visible are design strategies that generate a powerful feeling of spaciousness and visual lightness, making the space seem larger.
