Mix and Match

“A home should always feel like a portrait of the person who lives there” Georgio Armani

I was recently interviewed for a magazine article and was asked “What best describes your style?”. Now as an Interior Designer I know that identifying a clients style is crucial to meeting the brief and yet as a stylist I know that you can mix and match to your hearts content as long as you provide a continuity and meet a few basic rules. So how did I answer that question? I guess you’ll have to wait and see but I can say that the best thing about a Scandi inspired interior is that you get to add in a lot of different elements and at my little house I love so many elements of design I have trouble sticking to just one style so a Scandinavian base lets me be a little more daring than another design style.

Scandinavian spaces are so varied searching #scandinavianinterior can leave you a little bewildered to say the least, so other than the token Eames chair what exactly do #scandispaces have in common?

Simplicity, function and natural elements.

Take a look below at the images, I think you will be surprised at how different true Scandinavian interiors are compared to what is marketed as such.
