Explore the enchanting world of Scandinavian spring homes. Immerse yourself in the minimalist yet cozy decor of these northern countries.
This past winter, I shared this Homes in Sweden | My 10 Favorite post with you, and it’s quickly becoming one of your favorite blog posts.
And like you, I swoon over Scandinavian homes and decor styles, too.
So, let’s revisit these same ten homes and how they transition from their cozy north country decor into spring.
Scandinavian refers to the cultural and geographic region comprising three countries: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The term is often expanded to include the broader Nordic region, encompassing Finland and Iceland. It represents the languages, traditions, and design sensibilities of these northern European countries, particularly known for their minimalist, functional approach to design and emphasis on nature and simplicity in lifestyle.
Scandinavian countries share several cultural, social, and geographical traits. Here are several things they have in common:
Scandinavian design is a minimalist, functional style that originated in the Nordic countries—Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. It’s known for its simplicity, clean lines, and emphasis on natural materials like wood and stone.
Scandinavian design often incorporates neutral color palettes, cozy textiles, and a focus on light, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. It prioritizes functionality without sacrificing beauty, making it both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
1. Vibeke Design
This Norwegian home is an absolute favorite of mine. Simple yet fabulous outdoor elements are perfectly displayed throughout this Scandinavian spring home.
I absolutely love the neutral colors paired with the checkered patterns!
2. Nordin-Garden on Instagram
This home in Sweden always reminds me of our home here in Vermont. I think it’s how she adds the Scandinavian spring home touches, like flowers when snow’s still on the ground outside.
She captures this feeling beautifully!

Susanna’s 1880’s house is so inviting, again with her morning coffee, flowers, and her Cocker Spaniel, Dumbo!

8. My Vintage Home on Instagram
Trudi’s Scandinavian home looks so soft and calming, decorated with pastel colors for spring. The contrast with her antique furniture is so inviting. Don’t you just want to pull up a chair at one of her tables and sit for a spell?
9. Therese Bergqvist on Instagram
Everything about Therese’s home is elegant and oh-so charming. I’ve always admired the pink geraniums that our friends in the North Country embrace, from the outdoors to their indoor windowsills lined with these beautiful flowers.

Simply beautiful, I just love it. Do you think some of the flowers like the ones in the tall pail(I believe second or third picture) are kept in pots year round?
I just love this style, Ann. Thanks for sharing these incredibly inspiring accounts with us.
Happy Sunday Kim🙏
What about Finland??
Hi Melissa great question! My understanding is that Politically and geographically, Finland is part of the Nordic region but not the Scandinavian region🇫🇮
