Summary
You just have to think Ikea to realize that Swedish interior design is a hot property. With emphasis on light, comfort and elegance, Swedish design has wide appeal and blends easily with other styles. Characterized by blonde woods, painted furniture, carved accents, natural fabrics and colourful patterns on white backgrounds, the real secret to Swedish design is having the confidence to mix old and new while maintaining a clean aesthetic.
