Scandinavian Courtyard Design Ideas
A scandinavian courtyard combines the effortless Nordic warmth that blends hygge comfort with wild nature with a space designed for homeowners with enclosed outdoor spaces.
A courtyard typically features central feature, wall plants, ambient lighting. Enclosed spaces benefit from a central focal point like a fountain or tree. When designed in the scandinavian style, these elements get elevated with soft whites, pale wood, sage green, slate blue and materials like light timber, pale stone, wool textiles, galvanized steel.
