Scandinavian redesign

Scandinavian living room ideas

A Scandinavian living room is bright, simple and cozy. Light oak, white walls, soft grey textiles and good lighting make the most of daylight and keep the room comfortable through long evenings.

Tips for your living room

  • Keep window treatments light so daylight reaches deep into the room.
  • Pair a soft grey sofa with light wood and add warmth with wool and sheepskin.
  • Use several small light sources at different heights instead of one bright ceiling light.
  • Add one or two plants and a few framed prints to keep it personal.
