Scandinavian style blends simplicity, function and cosiness, the Danish idea of hygge. It's bright, practical and endlessly liveable.
Light, bright and airy
White or pale walls maximise natural light. Light woods like birch, ash and oak bring warmth.
Hygge essentials
Comfort is central to Nordic homes.
- Sheepskin throws on chairs.
- Plenty of candles and warm lamps.
- Chunky knit blankets on the sofa.
Functional furniture
Pieces with tapered legs, rounded edges and hidden storage. Everything should be useful as well as beautiful.
