We've found low-cost doubles for cool, Scandi-style homeware

Introduce a playful twist to your home – whatever your budget – with these key pieces. Can you guess which are the style steals?

You've got to hand it to the Scandinavians – when it comes to creating practical and unfussy but still chic and inviting interiors, they really know what they're doing. What's more, the Scandi aesthetic is suited to pretty much any property, from boxy new-builds to period terraces, so anyone can give it a go.

The key to nailing a cool, Scandi-style scheme is to mix soft textures, raw and contemporary materials, strong geometric shapes and pops of pastel.

We've picked out some key pieces that will help you recreate the look at home. But we've also done some digging and found affordable alternatives, should your budget not stretch to our ideal picks. Enjoy!
