The Scandinavian Approach to Design

The interior of Scandinavian homes consist of lots of white and bright colors. Designers choose lots of white in these homes because the winters are very dark and gloomy.  Using colors such as white or yellow will enlarge a space and make it appear brighter and happier. Possiblism can be seen here; these interior designers knew that it would become dark in the winter, so they used scientific reasoning to conclude that white would make a home appear less gloomy.

I believe that using lots of white can be overbearing. For this reason, accents such as paintings, rugs, plants, and throw pillows come into great use. Although it may sound simple, adding different patterns and colors can cause a room to clash and appear tacky or unpleasant. 

Not very attractive, huh?

These Scandinavian designers use neutral-toned accessories and splashes of accenting colors for a more homely feel. (Also, asymmetry is used for a slightly less "square" look.)
