Unexpected Bursts of Color
One of the things that makes Scandinavian design seem youthful without being too childish is the surprising and artful use of unexpected color. The painted ends of the logs in this fireplace enliven an otherwise plain palette and will surely delight everyone in the family.
Simple Kitchen Style
Like many European kitchens, this Scandinavian-inspired one has no upper cabinets. The simple open shelving provides easy access to dishware, and the lower cabinets keep everything in reach but out of sight. The minimal, clutter-free kitchen may even inspire your family to keep the counters clear.
