1 2 ideal homes Simple Scandinavian Pale colours, organic materials, and simple shapes are the three main components you need to achieve the widely popular Nordic look. A light-toned wooden laminate should be used across the home, broken up only by white walls. While this theme has a lot in common with the clean, minimalist design, the Scandinavian look is warmer, with very few dark accents and a significant amount of wooden furniture. IMAGE COURTESY OF STARRY HOMESTEAD ESSENTIALS Modern contemporary Foregrounded by cool base tones of white and grey, the modern contemporary style also exudes warmth – thanks to the soft furnishings and occasional wooden pieces added into it. Clean, straight lines also run through the carpentry to achieve a wholly fashionable look. With minimal decor, this theme is ideal for those who love a welcoming, organised home.
