The Art of Layering in Scandinavian Design

The Art of Layering in Scandinavian Design

The Key Elements of Layering

1. Texture: Softness Meets Structure
Layering different textures adds depth and interest to a space. The Norlii Premium Box embraces this balance with a linen pillow featuring delicate embroidery—soft and inviting—contrasted by the sculptural head piece and the structured ceramic vase. These varied surfaces create a dynamic yet cohesive aesthetic.

2. Form: Mixing Shapes for Visual Flow

Scandinavian interiors avoid monotony by incorporating organic and structured forms together. The Norlii Premium Box is a perfect example: The rounded paper mache bowl and sculptural head add softness, while the tall vase and linear palm leaves create a striking contrast.

3. Natural Elements: Bringing the Outside In

Nature plays a key role in Scandinavian design. The palm leaves ornament in the Premium Box brings a subtle organic element, adding movement and warmth to any setting. Pair it with your favorite dried flowers or let it stand alone as an understated piece of art.

4. Play around with the details
Make your decor feel balanced by grouping items together and have a look. Find out when the setting is soothing for the eyes. 

How to Layer Your Space Like a Pro

  • Start with a neutral base and build up with textures like linen, wood, and ceramics.

  • Mix soft and hard surfaces—combine plush pillows with sculptural decor.

  • Use varying heights—place taller pieces like vases next to lower, grounded objects.

  • Incorporate natural elements to add warmth and depth.

  • Keep the palette cohesive with a mix of warm and cool tones.

The Norlii Premium Box was designed to help you master the art of layering effortlessly. Whether you’re refreshing a corner of your home or styling a new space, these high-quality Scandinavian pieces make it easy to achieve a refined yet welcoming aesthetic.
