Get the look: Scandi interior style

Scandi style tends to keep bases - floors, walls, ceilings - light and bright, but they also love to play with high contrast - think light shades of wood mixed with industrial style, black crittall doors.

Simple furniture items with clean lines also create the pared-down, minimalist look you’re after.

Declutter where possible if you want to live like a cool Scandi. This is where great storage is absolutely necessary. Carefully considered storage solutions will enable your home to be both functional and clean, allowing more space for the good and the beautiful.

The Scandis are masters at making a simple space cozy.

A good way to achieve this is through warm natural materials like timber. Sculptural furniture, natural materials and great craftsmanship is important, especially when it comes to applications of wood - on floors, walls, wooden furniture, decorative objects, lighting…essentially anywhere and everywhere you can think of.

Natural materials will add warmth to any space and help contribute to its tranquillity.

Although clean lines dominate, in these typically cold countries, the Scandinavian’s know to add an element of psychological warmth to their homes through clever lighting solutions.

An easy way to do this is to use tea or fairy lights for soft, diffused lighting. These can be hung draped over furniture, like headboards, or strategically tacked to the wall. An eclectic selection of beautiful candles will also always do the trick.

We know that Scandi’s know how to take a home to the next level. So hey, why not copy them?
