The number one rule is to design a home that captures as much light as possible.

With its long winters and short periods of daylight, this is the basis to the Scandinavian look. Open plan living area, fresh white walls and neutral light colours all help to maximise natural lighting and create a sense of space. Stick with muted hues of beige and greys, these colours won't date as quickly. (1)
