What Goes With a Scandi Dining Table? A Coordinating Guide

A Scandi dining table works best alongside pieces that share its light, honest character. Think pale or mid toned wood chairs, soft upholstered seats in oatmeal, stone or sage, a simple bench, a paper or opaline pendant, a flat woven or wool rug and one low sideboard with clean lines. The aim is warmth without clutter: natural materials, gentle colour and plenty of breathing space. In this guide we look at how to choose chairs that complement rather than copy your table, which colours sit comfortably around pale timber, how to light the table for dark British winter evenings and how to layer textiles, ceramics and plants without losing the calm that makes Scandinavian design so easy to live with. We also cover the common pairings that tend to pull a Scandi scheme off course, so you can build a dining area that feels considered, welcoming and relaxed every single day of the year....
