Scandinavian style A Scandinavian living room — see it on your own photo

What is Scandinavian style?

A style from the Nordic countries, where winters have little daylight. Rooms are light, simple and practical, and the cosiness comes from textiles, wood and lamps — the Danes call that mood “hygge”.

Colours

White and off-white walls, light greys, beige and pale wood. Accents stay muted: sage, dusty blue, mustard, or black in frames and lamps.

Materials and furniture

• Light oak, ash and birch — floors, tables, chairs.
• Furniture with simple lines, often on slim tapered legs.
• Wool, linen and cotton in throws, cushions and rugs.
• Closed storage, so little is left out on surfaces.

Decor and lighting

A few plants, ceramics, black-and-white prints in simple frames, knitted throws. Paper and opal-glass lamps; warm light from several sources: pendant, floor and table lamps.

How to style a Scandinavian living room — 5 rules

• Keep walls and floor light so they reflect daylight.
• Choose one light grey or beige sofa and add soft textiles.
• Keep decor to a few good pieces.
• Bring in wood so the room does not feel cold.
• Layer the lighting with warm bulbs.

What to avoid

• Only white with no wood or textiles — the room turns sterile.
• Heavy dark curtains blocking the window.
• Many bright accents at once.
