The Scandinavian furniture is a more towards warm wood color, subtle curves, gentle lines, and tapered legs. These elements should be present in Scandinavian furniture.
Natural Light
The Scandinavian living room should have a welcoming atmosphere and the easiest way to do that is by having plenty of light to enter the room. In a Scandinavian style, window treatment has to be kept to a minimum in order not to obstruct the sun. The window treatment should be light & more use of sheer or transparent curtains to enter ample light in the living room. We recommend window glass without the film.
Neutral Flooring
The flooring will make any Scandinavian living room look brighter and more spacious while at the same time evoking a more friendly and inviting atmosphere. Bright flooring is a great idea for a Scandinavian living room. The bright wood oak flooring makes the space airy, open, and tidy and draws attention to spatial architecture and construction craftsmanship. The rug must be bright and comfy in geometric patterns, In Scandinavian style wall to wall carpet is functional because of its feature of visual expansion by floor.

task-oriented, or ambient lighting, Pendant lighting, and Chandelier is ideal,
and they are good in living rooms, as well as in the dining area. Various
finishes are there like metal, concrete, matt, ceramic these all are used in the Scandinavian style
