We’ll start with the outside. If you want a Norwegian house, you should stake on wooden panels and slate roofing. The colors should be strong – red, blue, yellow, and even black and white.

Usually, the windows and the rooms are small, so you could be sure that the house would be warm during the long, cold winter. A fireplace is almost mandatory – after all, what better way to stay warm then in front of the fire?

It’s common practice to have a green roof. That’s because a green roofing system offers a great insulation during both the summer and the winter.

A true Norwegian house should have a nice garden that’s well kept. Usually, not many of the properties have a fence. However, if you prefer to have some kind of a fence, then it should be short and made of wood.

To make your home look Norwegian on the inside too, you should stake on clean lines and furniture made of wood. Every detail that makes you think of the nature should do the trick too. The color scheme is mainly composed of pale pastels. Another material that’s commonly used is wool.
