Scandinavian style has long been synonymous with simplicity, functionality and timeless aesthetics, but in recent years it has undergone a transformation that takes it to a new level of sustainability. With an emphasis on circular design and sustainable practices, the Scandinavian home becomes not only an aesthetic pleasure, but also a refuge from the fast pace of modern life.
As the climate crisis deepens, more and more people are looking for ways to reduce their impact on the environment without sacrificing the comfort and beauty of their homes. Scandinavian design, with its focus on natural materials, smart solutions and calm aesthetics, offers the perfect combination to create a home that is sustainable and full of elegance at the same time.

The circular economy, which promotes the reduction of waste and the reuse of materials, has become an indispensable part of modern interior design. The Scandinavian way of furnishing the home, which is based on minimalism and functionality, naturally connects with circular design. Imagine a home where every piece of furniture has a story - from recycled wood to handmade textiles, all in harmony with the simplicity and elegance of Scandinavian design.
Sustainable materials in the foreground
In search of more environmentally friendly solutions, designers are increasingly turning to the use of renewable materials such as hemp, cork, bamboo and algae. For example, JYSK offers KONGSBERG bed frame, which is made of fabric in beige color and bedding AYA from natural materials. This combination creates a perfect bedroom that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also takes care of your health and well-being.

Self-care and autonomy at home
Scandinavian homes are increasingly oriented towards self-sufficiency and autonomy. Incorporating elements such as composting, rainwater harvesting and small-space gardening allows homeowners to reduce their reliance on outside sources. Such a way of life brings not only benefits for the environment, but also greater independence and peace in everyday life. Transforming the kitchen and dining room into a space where nature and design intertwine can be achieved with a simple yet elegant ARNBORG chair from JYSK, which with its combination of oak and off-white color symbolizes the connection between the indoor and outdoor environment.

Neutral palette and color accents
In a chaotic world, the home is becoming more and more important as a refuge. Therefore, neutral color palettes such as white, beige, gray and earth tones have become central elements of Scandinavian design. These shades provide a quiet and peaceful environment that will soothe you after a busy day. Incorporating subtle shades of blue, as in table lamps HJARNE from JYSK, brings a traditional Nordic touch with a modern twist. In addition to that LYNGVIG TV cabinet with its natural oak roller doors, it offers an elegant and functional piece that complements the overall image of your living space.

Smart objects and creative wellness
Scandinavian design is not only about aesthetics, but also about functionality. Objects in your home should be "smart" - not necessarily in the technological sense, but in the thoughtfulness of their use. For example, armchair KALUNDBORG from JYSK is not only visually attractive, but also ergonomically designed for optimal comfort. This smart piece of furniture allows you to relax after a long day, while its simple design maintains the aesthetics of the space.

Designing a home around the life you want to live
Encircle, a new interpretation of the Scandinavian trend, focuses on creating a space that reflects your lifestyle. It's about designing a home that revolves around your daily needs, desires and values. Your home becomes a center where functionality, aesthetics and sustainability meet. You can achieve this with add-ons such as decorative pillow DVERGFAKS and BENNY vase from JYSK, which add personality and warmth to the room, while maintaining the simplicity of Nordic design.
