Scandinavian-Style Interior Design: 5 Golden Rules to Get It Right
Less is More:
Order and Functionality Above All
The first rule of a Scandinavian-style home is simplicity. Order becomes an integral part of the décor: just a few carefully selected elements, able to meet both aesthetic and functional needs. No visual overload—only minimal furnishings that enhance the space instead of overwhelming it.
In this balance of light and natural materials, the Up series stands out as a coherent and modern choice. Its relief surfaces, shaped by light into soft, three-dimensional geometric patterns, bring personality without disrupting harmony. The soft, neutral tones—perfect for Scandinavian palettes—highlight the purity of forms, while matte and glossy finishes allow you to modulate brightness levels.
Available in 5×25 and 10×10 formats, featuring high-relief structures and a solid-color glazed range, Up allows the creation of minimalist yet distinctive spaces: bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and workspaces gain depth through contrasts of light and shadow. A tidy, elegant, functional solution. Perfectly Scandinavian.
Moon Cream:
the New Collection Presented at Cersaie 2025
Presented at Cersaie 2025 Moon Cream wascreated in response to the growing desire for comfort, warmth, and well-being typical of hygge-inspired interiors. Ceramic material interprets nature through surfaces that evoke moonlight, rocky textures, and the hues of quiet landscapes, transforming every space into an intimate, rejuvenating retreat.
The large 120×280 cm format with Materic Touch enhances the perception of visual softness, while the complete range – from 120×120 to 30×30 – ensures continuity between volumes and details. The Naturale and Antislip R11C finishes, along with the Peel and Mesh structures, add tactile depth without compromising balance.
The collection is completed by mosaics, strips, wall tiles, and a modular 3D décor, perfect tools for creating warm, bright, and textured environments where design harmonizes with the calm of nature.
Neutral Colors, White, and Natural Accents
White is the quintessential color of Scandinavian style: it enhances light and conveys purity. But it’s not the only option. The color palette for a Nordic-style home also includes light greys, beiges, and neutral tones. These shades form a base for natural touches such as light wood, stone, or subtle green accents.
Harness Natural Light to Shape a Welcoming Space
Scandinavian-style homes are designed to maximize natural light: a precious asset during long Nordic winters. Large windows, sheer curtains, and reflective surfaces are essential to make spaces brighter and airier.
Light Wood and Recommended Materials
Wood is at the heart of Nordic interior design. Oak, birch, and pine in light tones blend beautifully with natural fabrics such as linen, wool, and cotton. This mix helps create warm and cozy spaces without losing a sense of lightness.
The Honey Wood collection faithfully reproduces the look of natural wood with porcelain stoneware featuring warm, honey-toned shades. From Larch to Oak, Walnut, and Bricola, it delivers the material realism of wood grain, bringing all the warmth of natural wood into the home—combined with the durability and practicality of ceramic. The Chevron XL format, in particular, allows for unique installation patterns, ideal for giving personality to living areas and bedrooms.

Scandinavian-Style Interiors:
The Art of Turning Your Home into a Warm and Welcoming Place
Scandinavian-style interior design is a way of living that reflects balance, simplicity, and a love for nature. It means waking up to light filtering through sheer curtains, having breakfast on a light-wood table, walking barefoot on warm-toned floors, reading beside a window while it rains outside. It’s the attention to detail that makes every moment feel welcoming: a lit candle, a wool blanket on the sofa, a tidy corner where you can find peace and inspiration.
The Moon Cream, Up, Noble Stone, and Honey Wood collections by La Fabbrica AVA offer concrete solutions to interpret this style, adapting it with character to today’s living spaces. With surfaces that reflect light, neutral palettes, and natural materials, Scandinavian-style décor becomes an experience that blends aesthetics and well-being.
