Our Scandinavian home decor
Fine cotton curtains let the light gently filter into the room, and the cosy throw draped over the arm of the sofa is ready to wrap you warmly with its softness all evening long. In a handmade ceramic pot in the corner, a houseplant brings a touch of nature’s tranquillity indoors with its lush green leaves. This is the essence of Scandinavian interior design – it’s simple, unpretentious and naturally harmonious, where every detail instinctively finds its own place.

Scandinavian design combines form and function to create spaces that feel well-balanced and carefully-curated. A pared-back, minimalist style with pale neutrals usually comes to mind when you think of Scandi interiors. The materials are natural and durable. From different types of wood to linen, wool, ceramics and glass. Scandinavian design is a celebration of simplicity and functionality, nature and craftsmanship, warmth and connection.
And although Scandinavian interior design is characterised by its clean and sleek aesthetic, it’s the small details that breathe life and personality into a home. In fact a small design detail has the power to transform a whole room. A beautifully decorated ceramic bowl is more than just a bowl in the kitchen, it gives cohesiveness to the overall scheme. An element that sets the tone for the space. A cotton and wool rug, rich in colour and pattern, is not only a joy to stand and walk on, it brings a special charm to any room with its unique character. This is central to Scandinavian interior design – every object has its own place, purpose and aesthetic and exists in harmony with the rest of the decor.
A good way to achieve an energising and dynamic effect is through a mix of different materials. A fine cotton tablecloth on the wooden table, a soft seat cushion on the metal patio chairs, or a tufted bath mat in front of the vanity unit. A combination of finishes and textures can bring a fresh and inviting feel to your home. Just because Scandinavian interiors typically favour neutral tones doesn’t mean you can’t add colours and patterns. Accessories that bring a dash of sea blue, ochre yellow, opal green or curry red to your space will infuse it with personality and warmth. Start with an aesthetically pleasing base and then add a few carefully-chosen home accessories and you’ll create a space that feels like home.
