Perhaps because its so dark and cold outside that the Scandinavians seek to make their homes especially warm and welcoming, a stylish retreat from the outside, a place where they can wrap themselves up in style.
We Brits interpret Scandi style as minimalism with warmth. It is unfussy, has clean, practical lines and thanks to the light colours favoured by Scandi style, it's perfect for making small British homes feel bigger.
Norway, Sweden and Finland, are known for their egalitarian societies which is why their designs are not showy and quite pared down. For Scandinavians, home is warm and comfortable – it’s very much lived in, rather than a show home.
Bare wood, sheepskin and leather are the core ingredients for the Scandi styled home and hints of red and blue are the colours of choice.
If you want to create the look in your home, we have four sheepskin rugs to choose from as well as our fabulous flokati rugs which are premium rugs that will stand the test of time. If you want that hint of colour, our Basket Weave collection will fit the bill.
And fairy lights are not just for Christmas, throw a line on a shelf or on your fireplace, find some wooden ornaments, add some faux fur cushions and a few throws and you won't want to go outside for quite some time.
