Comfort, aesthetics, and functionality is the heart of Scandinavian interior design. Behind its charming, spacious look, Scandinavian’s style originates from its minimalist ideals which only allow things that serve a purpose. It stems from the idea of treasuring the simple things in life while keeping a warm and pleasant feel within spaces. If you suppose that there’s beauty in simplicity, then the Scandinavian design is for you.
The Scandinavian decor features minimalism, simplicity and functionality. Its harmonious combination reveals an iconic beauty of a Nordic style. Void of clutter, a professional interior designer offers modernism with an elegant connection to the natural world. White walls, wood floors, and clean lines are some of its hallmark attributes that induce a solution for a simple living. Some of the principles and characteristics of the Scandinavian design include:
The dominance of white walls is common in Scandinavian design. Since winter is long and dark, soft and understated color makes space feel light, uniform, and bright. Its neutral-heavy color palette is often incorporated with the accent of blue and other vivid colors.
Often, daylight is not always a luxury in Scandinavian countries. Thus, lightings, either natural or artificial are highly important. Natural lights make the room feel spacious and brighter. The window treatment should let in as much light as possible. Long-hanging lights are also popular in Nordic style designs.
Modern furniture with beautiful shapes and clean lines is a way to go. Scandinavian design furniture often highlights natural hues, gentle lines, fine-drawn curves, and tapered legs. Scandinavians have high regard for comfort and function. Mid-century inspired sofas and chairs are a common choice.
Scandinavian homes were traditionally small, hence the decluttering. They ensure that spaces are well used without extravagant amounts of stuff or decorative pieces. Scandinavian décor adheres to the “less is more” mantra making the spaces looking neat and visually soothing. Remember to leave some breathing space throughout the house.
A Scandinavian interior design style makes use of both wood and metal finishes. While natural elements are a key to their design, metal accents promote sensational looks within the space. Wooden elements, one of the interior design trends in 2021, can be anywhere such as the floorings, ceilings, furniture and fixtures, among others. These, combined with copper and brass can add glimmer and shine around the space.
Scandinavian homes welcome fresh flowers, plants, and other botanicals within their spaces. Aside from adding color and beauty to interiors, living elements also play a role in well-being. Interior design that boosts productivity and creativity includes live plants as they have positive effects on health and happiness. Our team has a collection of botanical pieces that complements refreshing Scandinavian rugs with certain patterns.
The premise of “less is more” is highly significant when decorating a Scandinavian interior. The goal is to achieve a simple, airy, and spacious space without leaving the area dull and cold. An appropriate balance and portion are the key ways to attain the right minimal blend. Keep your decors at a bare minimum and keep away the clutter.
Known for its clean lines, understated elegance, and flawless craftsmanship, Scandinavian style exhibits a warm and cozy finish throughout a space. Currently, Scandinavian décor is among the most popular movements in contemporary design. Choose Scandinavian style if you’re seeking both simplicity and coziness at home.

We love Rocky!!! He has the best designs and he gets what you want. His designs are so beautiful. It looks like what you will see in Architectural Digest but the house feels homey and warm. He took care of everything , from the foot print of the rooms, the wall finishes, the built ins, the furnitures , the lighting. He even took care of the styling. It's better than what you will ever watch on any design show. You walk into your house and your jaw would drop at the beauty of your house. His team even fixed all the furnitures and beddings and it's so move in ready that you just literally bring in your personal stuff. He and his staff were very responsive. They went over and beyond so many countless times. He was not only a designer but also a crisis manager. He helped us with our sub contractors. If we were to build another house , we would definitely work with him. We highly recommend him. Indeed one of the Philippines best sought after designer. After working with him , we know why 😍 Thanks so very much Rocky.
Rock and his team were fantastic and kept the design and renovation process stress and headache free. Impeccable translation of design from print to reality and amazing attention to detail. I highly, highly recommend Rock to anyone looking for end to end services from design all the way thru the actual renovation. Claps! :)
Having had a few projects with Rock Robins, I can absolutely testify that he is a highly-professional interior designer, who means what he says and does it. One particular project, we had the challenge of lockdowns and pandemic restrictions. Rock led the project, his team, and the suppliers so well beyond my expectations. Rock exudes professionalism with a heart. I felt that he cares for the project and for me, the client. He listens and accommodates the design of the project based on how it will be used and if it reflects the owners' lifestyle and taste. To say that it is a joy to work with Rock is an understatement. I look forward to the time I can work with Rock again.
We hired Rock Robins and his team for interior design and renovation of our condo unit. The designs were excellent, they listened to and incorporated all our ideas and also made design suggestions along the way. If you want a stress free renovation process then this is the way to go, everything was made very easy! When the renovation was finished it looked almost identical to the final designs
I would highly recommend Rock and his team to anyone wanting interior design services all the way through to renovation, they are a pleasure to work with and the final results are excellent! :)
Rocky did such an excellent job on our condo that it was even featured in a popular magazine! The space he created for us is beautiful, tasteful and inviting. We were so happy with his work that he is doing another project for us! We highly recommend Rocky Robins Studio.
All the characteristics you wish for in a great design team are with Rock Robins design studio. I had the most incredible experience working with Rocky and his team on multiple projects for several years. The team is very professional, attentive to client interests, works within client budgets and is deeply committed to completing projects on time. Definitely would recommend them to anyone seeking a top notch design firm that could make their dream home come true.
Rocky picked up my project which had been abandoned by the previous designer during coronavirus leaving me in a precarious position. Designers generally don’t like to take over mid-project as there are added complications but Rocky made the effort to completely understand both the issues and what I wanted from the design and elevated it to something beyond my expectations.
Working with Rock was an absolute joy as his cheery personality brought more excitement and creativity in revamping our daughter's room. We love the playful color scheme and the clever storage solutions.
