Scandinavian lighting is characterized by clean lines, natural materials, and a focus on warm, diffuse light that feels closer to candlelight than harsh neon lighting.
It emphasizes simplicity, functionality, and creating a cozy atmosphere. Common features include minimalist aesthetics that avoid excessive ornamentation; clean lines and understated elegance; and a warm and soft glow resembling candlelight or the soft light of a fireplace, rather than bright, intense illumination.
Strategic placement is essential: Scandinavian designers often prefer well-placed floor and table lamps over excessive overhead lighting.
