Functional design, clean lines & neutral tones.

If you're keen to update your home this summer and want to create an interior that's light, laidback and functional, we recommend trying out Scandinavian-inspired homeware and furniture. It's a trend that's stood the test of time.

Scandinavian homes are understated but inviting and simple yet stylish. Thanks to its combination of rustic aspects with neutral tones, the Scandinavian style suits both traditional and contemporary homes alike.

If you’re looking to create a space to relax in, but that also works for entertaining, the welcoming and functional nature of Scandi décor kills two birds with one stone.

The Scandi look is achieved through sturdy, clean designs, textures that invite you to reach out and touch, and soft, neutral hues that have an organic feel to them. Look for plenty of solid wood, natural materials such as linen and jute, as well as rustic stoneware and tactile ceramics.

We’ve put together a handy list of our favourite Scandinavian-inspired designs, so you can update your home for summer with ease.
