To bring a cosy, Nordic-inspired feel to your home, start by embracing the essence of Scandinavian style: focus on natural materials and soothing tones to create a welcoming haven. Choose a pared-back palette of white and grey, complemented by light wood tones that add warmth through neutral colours and soft, diffused lighting. While simplicity is key to this look, don’t hesitate to add subtle patterns for a touch of interest and personality. This approach will make your space feel both calming and stylishly inviting.

Get the look!

• Colours – Embrace monochromatic tones with muted colours. Opt for shades like grey, charcoal, taupe, ivory, or sage to add a soft touch beyond the classic black-and-white palette.
• Wallpapers – Favour simple designs such as small scale prints or zig-zag patterns in soft colours. Natural motifs, warm wooden looks, delicate botanical prints can all create a relaxed Nordic look.
• Windows – Airy, sheer curtain fabrics or functional minimalist honeycomb blinds will complement this style.
• Flooring – Light timber or “timber look” flooring is ideal for adding warmth while seamlessly blending with Scandinavian interiors. You can also introduce character with designs like herringbone, a style celebrated for its calming aesthetic.
• Décor – Use house plants, mohair throws, sheepskins, linen fabrics and jute rugs to bring a calm and texture to the space.
