Bergen Nordic Coastal – Soft Blues, Weathered Wood & Misty Scandinavian Calm
Bergen interiors are shaped by the Norwegian coast: misty mountains, cool northern light, stormy seas, and deep forests.
The result is an interior style that blends soft blues, cool grays, warm woods, natural textures, and quiet minimalism.
Think: blue-gray walls, pale oak, wool blankets, stone ceramics, coastal simplicity, and gentle moody daylight.
