Faux Leather Dining Benches with a Scandi Twist

To give a faux leather dining bench a Scandi twist, choose a simple, low bench in a warm natural shade such as tan, cognac, caramel, sand or soft black, set on light wooden legs in oak, ash or beech. Surround it with pale walls, natural textiles like wool and sheepskin, plenty of daylight and a few green plants. The smooth, easy care upholstery adds practicality, while the light timber and soft furnishings bring the calm, cosy feel of Scandinavian design. In this guide we explain why faux leather suits the practical, family focused thinking behind Nordic interiors. We compare Scandi friendly colours, show why wooden legs matter so much, and look at pairing the bench with chairs and a pale wooden table. You will also find advice on layering textiles through the seasons, making the most of natural light during short UK winters, choosing plants and accessories, and simple care for faux leather and wooden legs....
