how to style scandi bedding.

One of the great things about scandi design is that you don’t have to fully embrace the style to reap its benefits. As scandi furnishings are simple in design, they’re generally quite adaptable and won’t look out of place alongside other styles. However, if you’re craving the full scandi experience and want your space to feel like a comforting hub of hygge – we’ve got a couple of useful tips you can use.

Because it emerged in Nordic countries where natural light can be hard to come by, scandi design carries heavy associations with an all-white aesthetic. A purely white bedroom is optimal for reflecting and bouncing natural light around, leading to a brighter and more spacious feel in the darker seasons. Layer your white scandi bedding with a white cushion or two, and go with a grey or off-white throw for some gentle contrast.

While scandi design is quite minimalist and there’s an emphasis on neutral shades, there’s certainly no rule against adding in an eye-catching pop of colour. Scandi design focuses on colours that can be found in nature, so going with warm earthy shades is a great way to nail the look. Think warm olive or sage green cushions, chestnut brown throw blankets and raw wood furniture for a wholesomely natural scandi palette.
