Typically, when we think of ‘trends’, they are short-lived and disappear after a few months. Contrary to this, Scandinavian style interiors have been popular for many years now, and this is no surprise. With a focus on minimalism and functionality, Scandi-style can create a relaxing and cosy environment.
The main features of this Nordic-inspired trend include using muted colours such as white and beige, mixed with stone and wood textures to bring in the outdoors. Accessorise Scandi living spaces using fur throws, tassel cushions and plants to add dimensions. Blush pink and grey-blue tones can add a touch of colour to a seemingly blank canvas, without being overwhelming.
A Scandi-style desk could be the perfect addition to many rooms in the home; an alternative to a shiny vanity area in a dressing room, or a dedicated workspace in the lounge. This Fresco Scandi-Style Desk from Swoon Editions is the perfect shade of wood to complement neutral décor.
Tassel cushions can transform any sofa or chair and add an authentic Scandi twist. Our personal favourites are this Boho Tassel Cushion from Amazon and this Cushion Cover with Tassels from H&M Home.
A Knitted Jute Pouffe can add texture to any living area in the home – this one from Next would look great in a lounge as somewhere quirky but comfortable to put your feet up after a long day.
This versatile Natural String Bamboo Chair from Zaza Homes can be used outdoors and indoors, meaning you can feature Scandi style all around your home. Accessorise with this Faux Fur Sheepskin Rug from John Lewis & Partners to make your chair super cosy.
No Scandi décor would be complete without a plant – the Monstera from The Little Botanical is the must-have indoor plant at the moment and will add beautiful greenery to kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms alike.
