NORDIC WINTER INSPIRED DECOR

When choosing decor items for this look, remember the Scandinavian influence is about simplicity and functionality. Natural materials like wool, furs, rough textured hessian and beach wood are perfect for this style, all in light neutral colours. Look to bring the outside in with reclaimed wood, naturally shed antlers and gathered foliage to simply decorate your home or event space. Display decor and little details in simple collections which look naturally and effortlessly compiled; nothing too structured or over worked for this look.

To combat the bitter Nordic winters inspiring this look, seek out thick and chunky materials to provide warmth and comfort; thick knits and animal skins will work perfectly, perhaps interspersed with some graphical patterns. Faux furs, blankets and cushions add an air of cosiness to functional wooden stools and benches. Look for wooden spindles wrapped in fawn and grey yawn which can be displayed in willow baskets and bathe your space in candle light by placing simple tea lights in a range of small and simple glass votives.
