17 Scandi Christmas Living Room Ideas
Scandi Christmas living room ideas for a Scandinavian Christmas style. The Scandi or Scandinavian design has many admirers and followers. This is because of its design of clean lines, minimalist style, and lack of clutter appeal to many homeowners and designers. Scandi design first emerged in the 1950s. At that same time, the modern look gained widespread notability across the US and Europe. During this same timeframe, Mid-Century Modern also gained prominence throughout the US.
The lack of clutter and the minimalist mindset of the decor style, with its clean, simple lines and designs, make this a much sought-after style. Although Mid-century Modern and Scandinavian styles share many elements, there is a slight difference. Scandinavian designs are bright, airy spaces. Mid-century Modern designs tend to use darker colors rather than light-colored furnishings. So, a home decorated in a Scandinavian design would most likely have chairs such as a Wishbone chair in lighter neutral color finishes; in contrast, a Mid-century Modern design would have chairs in darker color finishes.
For example, Wishbone chairs are very popular with Scandi and Mid-Century Modern styles. They have clean, straightforward design lines. However, in a Scandi home, you will most likely see a Wishbone chair finished in a natural color. The image above shows a Wishbone chair in a natural finish. However, the Wyn Woven Chair in a darker or black finish would be a better selection or fit in a mid-century modern-styled home. In the image below, the Wishbone chair is in a black finish. In Mid-Century Modern design, there is less focus on lightness.
In today’s post, we share living rooms decorated for Christmas in a Scandi decor. During Christmas, you see how the minimalist decor style continues—simple, clean lines with a minimalist decorating approach.
