At the heart of this Retro Scandi collection is laid-back, simple appeal. Here at Ideal Home we've taken it to another level by injecting a bit of personality of our own, beautifully enhancing the look with accent furniture and accessories decorated with cheerful geometric patterns.
Playing with textures, such as that of concrete and metal, helps to give this look its modern edge.
The pieces of furniture in the Ideal Home Collection are classic Mid Century in terms of shape. But they've been given a jazzy makeover using feel-good colours, such as zesty yellow on upholstery and blush pink paintwork. Each piece works as a standalone statement and can be used to update your decor in an instant.
Classically curvaceous upholstery and accent tables from the new Ideal Home collection at Very range can help to create a room full of easy-going colour and character. Above, we've dressed the space with a bold chevron print wallpaper to add a further touch of fun, ensuring the scheme looks anything but bland.
Start with these key pieces from the new collection to create a cool Scandi vibe in your own home.

7. Geometric cushion
Key accessories, like this geometric cushion, are such a great way to add in both pattern and colour without going overboard.

Blush pink is a key colour for this season, and a great accent tone to introduce to any colour scheme.
