Bloomingville scandinavian furniture and design accessories
Scandinavian style
A typical Scandinavian interior exists of light colors, and most of the times white is used as the base color. The white base is completed with, black, earth, gray and pastel shades and tones. Scandinavian furniture is characterized by its minimalistic design and clean lines. Moreover, the Scandinavian furniture pieces are most of the time made of wood, as well as the floors and walls that can be found in Scandinavian homes. The most used wood to make the furniture is teak. Accessories are made minimally so that you can see the beauty and purity of every piece. Not only the furniture pieces are important, the lightning within the home must be taken into account as well. Lightning is very important in Scandinavian homes, because it highlights the furniture. It would be ideal if the home has large windows. If you don't have this luxury you can choose for light curtains and a light floor to create the same effect.
Scandinavian style at PIB
PIB is a big fan of the Nordic style, and of the Scandinavian way of life. The nature is a prominent aspect in the Scandinavian countries, and so is the eco-friendly lifestyle. We share this opinion, and therefore we encourage our customers to do the same. A lot of wooden furniture at PIB is made of reclaimed wood, because we believe that it is unnecessary to waste additional materials and we think that this adds more character to the pieces. Additionally, you can bring the nature into your home by spreading different plants and vases with flowers in your house.

Interior trends AW 2016/2017
The main keywords that can be used for AW 2016 and 2017 are down to earth, functional, organic and versatile. We will see more and more warm tones that are inspired by the dessert, earth and sand. Not only the colors will be warmer in 2017, but the materials used as well. We will see more brass, bronze and bricks. The warm earthy tones will be complemented with (dark) green shades. This means that the "green trend" of 2016 will be continue in 2017. You adapt this trend easily in your interior by, just like the Nordic style, placing several plants in your house. Trends come and go, meaning that some trends from 2016 will be not done in the coming season. The main things that you can leave behind are metallic copper accessories, soft pastel tones and white marble.
