Scandinavian widgets for Android
Light wood tones, soft greys and quiet, practical layouts. Scandinavian widgets follow Nordic interiors: white and pale grey, a touch of light wood or dusty blue, simple sans type and nothing unnecessary. Calm, warm and practical.
Also known as: nordic widgets, scandi widgets, hygge widgets.
