The secret to decorating in a Scandinavian style is bringing your room to life using a minimal selection of colors and decorating elements. The staple colors of this style are white, white and more...ok, just kidding, black, gray, and tan are also commonly found. It is perfectly acceptable to add a pop of color to your room too. Yellow is a great choice when adding a splash of color to your room. Yellow complements the natural whites and grays found in Scandinavian design. Yellow is also a powerful color choice for the emotions that it inspires, often reminding people of sunshine and happiness. While using white for most of the larger elements in your room, adding small details in yellow, like potted flowers or a piece of art is a great way to add a happy feel to your sophisticated decor. An art piece that would be quite perfect is Nicole Ketchum's "View from Above I". The artist incorporates an array of grey, black, white, and yellow throughout the piece, creating the perfect balance of color and lightness. It is a geometric design and would go wonderfully with a black and white patterned throw rug. Pair the artwork with a crisp white matte and a thick black frame to complete your room.
