5 ways to give your bedroom Scandi style
Scandinavian style is clean, simple and natural – perfect for creating a calm and serene bedroom.
Scandi style is all about calm and cosy, which makes it perfect for bedrooms. Start with a clean backdrop of white walls and wooden flooring and add graphic prints, texture and pastels to give warmth and interest. Here's how to master the unassuming charm of a Scandinavian bedroom.
Pretty pastels
Scandinavian style doesn't just have to be about all-white rooms with a touch of black. Pastel colours such as peaches, camels and greys make a welcome addition. Here the pink plaster rendered walls are given a cosy feel with an assortment of textured throws and blankets and a string of fairy lights.
Declutter
Wish your bedroom had a little more order to it? The key to a Scandi-style bedroom is some clever storage ideas. Bring calm with these hangers with leather strong from cool Danish Skagerak. Designed by Christina Liljenberg Halstrom, simply hang from a wooden rack and say hello to clean lines (and spaces).

Go au natural
Add texture to neutral bedrooms with cream buttoned headboards, throws and animal skin rugs. Add a Scandi-cool vibe with hexagonal beside tables, anglepoise lamps in muted hues and a rattan chair nestled in the corner.
Be bold with graphics
A graphic print and sleek storage solutions are key to a Scandi-style bedroom. The blue and white print bed linen from Ferm Living will add a pop of colour and pattern to the white walls and minimalist décor of the room.
