Illuminate Your Home with Scandinavian Style: Lighting Tips for a Perfect Scandi Theme
Are you in need of a Scandinavian switch up?
Are you dreaming of a home that embodies simplicity, functionality and timeless elegance? This blog aims to offer a wealth of tips and inspiration to help you transform your home into a Scandinavian Serenity.
The minimalist beauty of the Scandinavian style is curated by neutral colour palettes, natural materials, and clean lines. Lighting plays a pivotal role in Scandinavian home décor, where long, dark winters necessitate the clever use of light to create warm and inviting spaces. A Scandinavian-style home ensures the maximum use of natural lighting whilst carefully selecting artificial light sources. The elegance of living simply and beautifully isn’t as out-of-reach as you think.
Keep it clean
Scandinavian homes put a lot of emphasis on clean lines as it helps to keep order and simplicity throughout your home. You know what they say: a tidy home means a tidy mind! Here at Litecraft we offer a plethora of lighting styles that in-keep with this healthy mindset. Our Litecraft top tip, is to focus on furniture and décor items with sleek, straight edges and minimal ornamentation. Pieces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing are the way to go! The 3 Light Industrial Style Diner Pendant in Bronze from Litecraft is ideal for a scandi transformation. It offers a minimalistic aesthetic whilst providing a fabulous wash of light.
Another fantastic option is the Aya 1 Light Industrial Floor Lamp in Satin Nickel. This floor lamp boasts a minimalistic aesthetic and would look ideal in a living room or as a bedside light. By prioritizing clean lines in your home, you create a harmonious and visually appealing environment that embodies the essence of Scandinavian Serenity.
Wood you have thought of that?
Our second Litecraft top tip for the perfect Scandinavian Serenity is the use of natural minerals throughout the home. The simplicity of natural materials encapsulates the essence of scandi home décor. Wood is the most prevalent material, often used in flooring, furniture, and decorative elements. Light-coloured woods are favoured for their ability to brighten spaces and embellish open-plan living. Here at Litecraft we have a wide range of products that you can choose from to elevate your natural oasis. The Bamboo Easy to Fit Shade in Natural and the Rein 2 Light Antler Table Lamp in Natural are fantastic options. The use of these natural materials enhances the visual appeal of a home and fosters a calming and serene environment.
Textural depth is the key!
The final Litecraft top tip that I have to offer you, is to use textiles to your advantage. Incorporating textural home accessories is a key strategy for achieving a Scandinavian aesthetic. These elements add depth and warmth to the minimalist design palette. Two lighting options that you can incorporate in your home are the Geo 6 Light LED Ring Cluster Pendant in Black and the Robbo Rattan Easy to Fit Lamp Shade in Natural.
The Robbo can be styled beautifully in a bedroom, living room, or even hallway. Whilst the ceiling pendant would look effortless above a dining table or kitchen island. By carefully selecting and placing textural accessories, you can transform your home into a haven of Scandinavian tranquillity.
