Dream it
Contemporary Scandi
Nothing says ‘understated cool’ quite like
Scandinavian interior design, so it’s no
surprise that this trend has such enduring
appeal. Our climates might be poles apart,
but the celebration of light that is integral to Scandi
style works superbly in Australian homes, too. White
walls create a blank canvas on which to subtly layer
tones and textures, with timber and a restrained
palette of pale hues playing starring roles. Add
elements of hygge, the Danish concept of comfy
conviviality, with sheepskin, furs and oversized knits,
but curate your choices carefully. Getting Scandi
right means strictly no clutter, and furniture with
clean lines that encourages a feeling of airiness
and space. Luxe metallic touches update the look.
