Here at Ideal Home we love the laid-back, simple appeal of Scandinavian interiors - so much so that we've curated a Retro Scandi collection at Very. No look is better suited to this time of year, when dark mornings and even darker evenings have us wanting to hibernate. With hibernation in mind the bedroom is the ideal room to transform with Scandi vibes.
We can learn a thing or two from our Scandinavian neighbours who, despite seeing the least hours of sunlight, manage to retain the title as the happiest countries in the world. A simple, pared-back way of life seems to help achieve a happy home.

Ensure sweet dreams with a calming bedroom scheme. The ideal colour palette for a calming bedroom should be one of desaturated mineral tones, such as watery blue and muted pink, mixed with hearty earth colours that make us feel at one with nature.
