7 Ideas for Designing a Scandinavian-style Bedroom
Take a look at these cool, stylish bedrooms – each with their own unique take on Scandi style
Whether you’re looking to create a cool urban crash pad or a cosy spot to snuggle up in, it’s possible to include Scandi-style elements in your bedroom in numerous different ways. Check out these gorgeous sleepspaces for inspiration.
Add a hint of blue
For extra interest, don’t just stick to plain grey. Here, a gentle blue-grey wall works again as a background for minimal artwork and gives an extra layer to the shades of grey on the bedding.
Although the blue adds character to the grey and white scheme, it could have lacked warmth without the earthy tones on the bedside table, vase, candle and flowers. With these few additions, the cool space becomes a cosy sanctuary.

Make it modern and monochrome
Fancy something more minimal? Go all out with a pared-back, monochrome Scandi scheme. In this cool bedroom, less is most certainly more – from the white walls and matching white bed frame, to the black bedside table and exposed light bulb.
If you’re going for a crisp look like this in your bedroom, cosy things up with soft textures in the form of fabrics, plants and timber finishes.

Give it a rustic edge
If you want a more snug feel, ditch the minimal, monochrome look in favour of a scheme that combines Scandi with rustic touches.
Here, pared-back timber, clean lines and modern elements have been mixed with an earthy colour palette to create a room that feels both contemporary and cosy.
To pull this off at home, contrast well-crafted rustic furniture pieces with modern items, and add plenty of natural elements and soft, textured fabrics.

Put up panelling
Create a boudoir that feels like a cosy cabin by cladding the walls in timber. Use a range of tones to make a patchwork effect, as the designers have done here, or go for uniform whitewashed panels.
If real wooden boards aren’t an option, look out for wallpapers that give the look of panelling instead.

Line up
Give your bedroom a calm, restful quality by embracing the lines created by minimal, modern furniture. In this Scandi-style scheme, the mirror and artwork echo the lines of the simple wooden furniture to form a crisp, cohesive layout. The white walls and pale flooring add to the tranquil vibe.
The white pendant lights that float beautifully either side of the bed soften the lines just the right amount.

Add warm accents
This cool city room has the perfect combination of cosy and minimal. The walls and bedding are crisp and white, and the tapered legs of the midcentury furniture are simple and streamlined.
To warm things up, the designers have chosen accessories and artwork in peach tones, which add an inviting layer of gentle colour to the space.

Highlight bright white features in your minimal Scandi-style room with a slightly darker backdrop. Here, the soft grey wall is the ideal calming colour to showcase two simple line drawings and some crisp white bed linen.
The contemporary wall lights are similar in form to the lines on the drawings, bringing added balance to the room.
