3．风格自然、纯朴 Natural and Simple Exterior Design

北欧的室内设计装饰材料主要有木材、纺织品、玻璃、铁艺等，在实际运用中基本上都保留了这些材质的原始质感与肌理，例如直接堆砌在火炉边的原木、兽皮形状的绒毛地毯。这些都是室内自然风格的点缀，使室内空间充满人情味。北欧室内中的天花、墙面、地面很少用纹样与图案来装饰，通常采用色块和线条区分。

The main decorating materials in Nordic interior design are wood, textiles, glass and ironwork etc. The original texture will be maintained while practically utilizing these materials, such as the randomly piled-up logs beside the fireplace, fur shape fluffy carpet. These ornaments with natural style fill the room with human kindness. The ceiling, walls and floor are rarely decorated with patterns. Instead, they generally divided by color blocks and lines.

北欧人因其得天独厚的自然环境，与自然相处十分亲密。斯堪的纳维亚地区森林茂密，湖泊星罗棋布，山脉高耸。同时，因为北欧高福利的生活状态，大部分人们不需过多为生活而劳累奔波，他们工作时间短，大部分时间用来进行户外运动和旅游。在进行室内设计时，北欧人把对自然的爱引入到室内空间中来，在家具中也体现了这种粗犷、自然的风格。而这些还与北欧人的生存环境与传统有着直接关系，远古的北欧民族，生活在严苛的自然环境中，他们的日常生活方式是狩猎、流浪、战斗，他们也会在大胆进取的首领的率领下远征他国，并从异国赢来财富与地位。北欧民族看似冷静，内心却火热，绝不优柔寡断，他们拥有纯粹、简洁的表达方式，这种性格特征自然也体现在室内空间设计上。
