Scandinavia is comprised of three Northern European countries: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Scandinavian design is marked by a focus on clean, simple lines, minimalism, and functionality without sacrificing beauty. It first came to prominence in the 1950s, around the same time as modern style took hold in America and Europe.

Both usually use wood as a natural material. If you see a lot of light wood in a Scandinavian Interior, you mainly see darker wood in a Nordic interior. And you will not find that dark wood in the Scandinavian living style. It should be very light there. You see geometric shapes in this living style, but less so in a Nordic living style.

Also Scandinavian design is more minimalist with functionality at its core, while Nordic design is more homely and influenced by traditional workmanship and crafts
