Design Style: Scandi
Design Style: Scandi – Crockery and cutlery on a table surrounded by chairs

This season, we’ve created five new design styles to inspire every space and every taste

Let us introduce you to Scandi: a pared-back modern style, that has a contemporary feel, simple colours and muted patterns.

For authentic Scandinavian design we took inspiration from Copenhagen and Stockholm, which shows through in every piece.

Scandi isn’t just a look, it’s a philosophy: a desire for a slower pace of life. It’s order, function and flow – a place for everything and everything in its place.

Inspired by the simple, clean minimalist style of Scandinavian design that was established throughout the mid-20th century, Scandi has evolved to become one of the most popular and recognisable modern styles of today. It’s one that celebrates natural materials, light colours and simple shapes to create a calming and considered interior – the perfect sanctuary in which to unwind and relax.

Close your eyes and picture it all: the blonde lit-from-within wood, tactile fabrics such as wool, linen and textured weaves, playful and cosy lighting, and tableware that’ll make even your quickest meals look professionally plated.

It’s a space that always feels like brunch on a Saturday, with the pickles you finally made from the Noma cookbook and a perfect cup of pour-over coffee. Now to relax. It is the weekend after all.
