Get the Scandi look
Known and loved for its timeless, clean design aesthetic — Scandi style is as cool and chic as the Nordic countries it draws its influence from. See how you can get the look for yourself at home. Colour featured: Ōkārito.
Less is more
Embracing minimalism, Scandi style is all about clean lines, neutral palettes and careful, considered design choices.
This thoughtful design aesthetic embraces farewelling clutter in place of function, beauty and liveliness.
The best place to start if you want to achieve this look is to declutter — then declutter again! Strip it right back to the very basics by removing anything that doesn’t serve a specific purpose.
Focus on your key furniture pieces and be mindful about their placement to create a space that celebrates form as well as function.
Careful contrast
With a light, neutral canvas to play with, high contrasts add depth and definition to the Scandi look.
Allow decorative elements like dark sculptural architecture elements and light fittings to shine against the neutral backdrop. This will help to create a dramatic, designer scene.
