The look
What makes a Scandinavian living room
Scandinavian living rooms keep the walls and floor light, use simple furniture in birch, oak or white, and add warmth with wool throws, sheepskin and lots of small lamps. Color comes in small doses, like a blush cushion or a grey rug.
It brightens rooms with limited daylight and suits families, since the pieces are practical and easy to clean.
Bright, functional beauty. Colors: white, grey, blush. Materials: birch, wool, ceramics.
- White or pale grey walls and light wood floors
- A simple sofa in grey or oatmeal with slim legs
- Birch or oak side tables and shelving
- Wool throws, sheepskin and a textured rug
- Several lamps at different heights

Before you build
Worth knowing first
- Use warm white bulbs; cool white makes a pale room feel clinical.
- Layer textures rather than colors to keep it from feeling flat.
- Hang curtains close to the ceiling to make the room feel taller.
Each design can come with an estimated cost range for your zip code, so you get a rough idea of the budget before asking for quotes. How the estimate works
