How to Style Beds in a Scandi Interior

Scandinavian design grew from long, dark winters, so it places light, warmth and comfort at its heart, which makes it a natural fit for British bedrooms. In this guide we explain how to style a bed in a Scandi interior, starting with a simple frame in light wood or pale fabric with clean lines and slim legs. We look at building a calm palette of warm whites, greys and muted accents, choosing natural bedding in linen and cotton, and layering knitted throws, wool blankets and rugs so the room feels cosy rather than cold. You will also find advice on keeping bedside surfaces clear, adding a blanket box at the foot of the bed, letting daylight in, bringing in plants and natural materials, and creating warm, layered lighting for long evenings. We finish with common mistakes to avoid, such as too many cushions and stark whites, and ideas for carrying the look through your home....
