How to Style Bunk Beds in a Scandi Interior

Styling a bunk bed in a Scandi interior starts with a simple frame in pale wood or soft white, then builds the room around natural texture, a restrained palette and as much daylight as possible. Scandinavian design grew out of homes that had to make the most of limited light through long winters, which is why its principles translate so well to British bedrooms that are often small. In this guide we explain how to choose a frame with clean lines and slatted rails, and which wall colours avoid the chill of brilliant white in northern light. We look at washed linen bedding, wool throws and sheepskin, and choosing a low pile rug that keeps the ladder stable. You will also find ideas for warm, layered lighting, baskets and open shelves that keep surfaces clear, a few carefully chosen accessories, and ways to adapt the look for box rooms, larger shared bedrooms and loft rooms with sloping ceilings....
