WHAT IS ‘SCANDI STYLE’ ?

Here we explore the design movement from 20th century

'Scandi Style' seems to be very popular amongst various homes we visit at the moment, so we thought we would see what 'Scandi Style' actually is.

Scandinavian design is a design movement characterised by simplicity, minimalism and functionality that emerged in the early 20th century and subsequently flourished in the 1950's throughout the five Nordic countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland. It includes the use of natural materials, such as leather, wood and hemp.

The use of lighting is very important. Many Scandinavian homes can home daylight for as little as 7 hours a day. The manner in which lighting is used is important and Scandinavian decor should have different forms of lighting to provide adequate illumination in the entire space.

The Scandinavian regions experience climates with extremely cold temperatures. Therefore, warm textiles are common for home decor. Throws, rugs made from wool, sheepskins or mohair are popular.

When people talk about the property market in Shepperton, the conversation normally centres on house prices. Yet price is only part of the story. The size of a home matters too. A £500,000 home in one part of the country may offer significantly more space than a similarly priced home elsewhere.

A fresh coat of paint can help, but missing paperwork can delay a sale for months. Use August to prepare the information buyers and solicitors will need before an offer is agreed.

August does not have to be a quiet month for your property search. With the right financial preparation and viewing strategy, summer buyers can uncover opportunities others may miss.

For some homebuyers, the kitchen is the deal maker. For others, it is the number of bedrooms, the school catchment or the distance to the railway station. Yet for a sizeable group of buyers, the garden matters just as much as the house itself. Across Shepperton there are 90 homes with large gardens.
