The crux of Scandinavian interior design is light, airy, and cozy. The style is minimalistic and blends different textures and modern furniture and decor to make your space warm and inviting. The style emphasizes function over form, clean lines, open, breathable spaces, and h*ygge*. Hygge is a place or item that brings cozy, comfy feelings that are also welcoming (think candles, a fireplace, a warm cup of coffee or tea, or plush pillows). In other words, hygge is your happy place.  Bring the simple, harmonious, modern style to life with the perfect paint shade either as an accent or on all walls. Our color experts at [Brush & Roll Painting](https://www.brushandrollpainting.com) have determined the ideal Nordic-inspired color palette, so that you can recreate the look in your home in Omaha, Nebraska. ## ![Dining room with off-white walls and a white table with black chairs.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/spacejoy-tHT9AwECP74-unsplash.jpg?width=513&name=spacejoy-tHT9AwECP74-unsplash.jpg) ## 1. Off-White on Interior Walls  [White with warm undertones](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/oc-122/cotton-balls?color=OC-122) aligns perfectly with the hygge philosophy. It's always a favorite shade for those wanting to recreate the Scandi aesthetic. Cotton Balls by Benjamin Moore is a beautiful shade to get this look.    ![Living room with light blue painted wall, with a few plants and a gray couch.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/silver-dusk-scandinavian-blue-wall.jpg?width=467&name=silver-dusk-scandinavian-blue-wall.jpg) ## 2. Light Blue Interior Paint A barely-there blue makes us think of long, dark Swedish winters that bring natural light into homes. Choose a blue that's light and ethereal that feels refreshing and soothing. We love [Benjamin Moore's Smoke](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/2122-40/smoke?color=2122-40) as a wall color for this airy, fresh look.    ![Scandinavian pink painted interior bedroom walls and a bed with neutral tan colored blanket.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/scandinavian_interior_pink2-1024x683.jpg?width=509&name=scandinavian_interior_pink2-1024x683.jpg) ## 3. Blush Shades on Interior Walls This shade goes by many names: millennial pink, Nordic pink, Scandinavian pink, blush, light pink. It may be a bold choice for some, but it can be a great color to warm up walls and add color while still staying neutral and true to Scandinavian style. Give [Head Over Heels by Benjamin Moore](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/af-250/head-over-heels?color=AF-250) a try on your walls or as an accent wall color.   ![Dining room and living room with light colors, featuring grey walls and light curtains on windows.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/spacejoy-io5Tvjh7vCc-unsplash.jpg?width=516&name=spacejoy-io5Tvjh7vCc-unsplash.jpg) ## 4. Gray Interior Walls The love for gray walls is very real among homeowners and interior designers alike. It's incredibly versatile, and the range of grays can make all the difference in any space. Gray is a perfect shade if you want a modern feel with more cozy vibes. For just a subtle hint of gray in a Scandi living room or dining room, try a softer shade like [Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Gray](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/hc-173/edgecomb-gray?color=HC-173).    ![Living room with light grey sofa and large pink and yellow painting on the white wall.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Main%20photo%20size%20(17).jpg?width=550&height=309&name=Main%20photo%20size%20(17).jpg) ## 5. White Interior Shades The mascot for Scandinavian style and the integral color is white. White reflects natural light, which is important in Nordic countries because of the short spurts of daylight during the winter. It goes with everything, so that's a bonus! Give [Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/oc-65/chantilly-lace?color=OC-65) a try to get this look.    ![Portait of flowers in a vase on books that are stacked in front of a medium brown wall color.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jessica-delp-JhYbY9nv0rU-unsplash.jpg?width=511&name=jessica-delp-JhYbY9nv0rU-unsplash.jpg) ## 6. Beige Interior Shades Want another shade to warm up your space? Any shade of beige, from dark to light, will work with all wood tones and metallics you choose. It creates a vintage feel that's relaxed and calming, plus it makes white accents stand out even more. We love [Lenox Tan by Benjamin Moore](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/hc-44/lenox-tan?color=HC-44) for this look. ## Choose the Best Shade For You When looking into a new paint shade for the interior of your home, consider a Scandinavian-inspired color. These shades embrace the feeling of comfort in your home where you need it most. At Brush & Roll Painting, we know that home painting is a serious investment.
