Scandinavian Bedroom Ideas

Scandinavian style is known for being cozy, welcoming, and soothing above all else. These are three reasons why the style is so frequently used in bedrooms where comfort is prioritized above all else. Even so, there are many ways to go about using Scandinavian and nordic designs, which is why it can be invaluable to seek out inspiration photos and guidelines on how to create the best Scandinavian bedroom. We hope that this guide will give you plenty of Scandinavian bedroom ideas and inspiration of how to decorate your own bedroom.

Completely Cozy

Scandinavian bedrooms are known for their extreme comfort. One way to create a highly comfortable, cozy bedroom is to use multiple rugs throughout the room. Layering rugs on top of one another introduces multiple layers and textures to the room while also creating extra plushness. Fur and animal hide rugs in particular are aptly suited for creating a cozy Scandinavian bedroom.

Calming Creams

Scandi homes typically use a warm neutral color palette to create a cozy, warm space. In the case of this bedroom, warm creams and beiges are used in the room's wall color, curtains, bed frame, and other key accents. Using beige/cream tones in various textures and shades is an ideal way to create a calming Scandi bedroom.

Let In The Light

This style has a deep appreciation of all things natural, including daylight. If you have even a singular window in your bedroom, you should allow light to flow into the room uninterrupted to reinforce the grand design and tone. Curtains are often not used in Scandinavian spaces, but they can be added as long as they don't interfere with the warm and airy tone of the room.

Low Profile

In modern minimalist styles, you will find that furniture tends to be closer to the ground and highlight a lower profile. This bedroom shows that with the very low bed and accents on the floor. This layout is a simple way to create a minimalist Scandi bedroom in your home.

Pops of Color

Even though Scandinavian style frequently uses soft or neutral colors to create a calming space, there's no reason why you can't infuse color into your Scandinavian bedroom. Color is a great way to showcase personality and your unique aesthetic, so play around with color to create your ideal space.

Texture

Since Scandinavian spaces often use limited color palettes, it is important to incorporate different textures, materials, and finishes throughout the room to create visual interest. This room is a masterclass in how to use texture through rugs, blankets, pillows, and other accents. Take inspiration from this simple Scandinavian bedroom on how even a limited color palette appears interesting and complex with different textures throughout the room.

Geometrics

Geometric shapes and lines are a key part of modern interior design. In minimalist Scandinavian spaces, you can introduce shapes through the room's architecture, key furniture, and accents. Rugs, blankets, and pillows can also feature geometric patterns to suit the room's modern aesthetic.

Run With It

Runner rugs fit right at home in bedrooms. If you have a smaller room or simply don't want to fill the room with a large rug, then you can simply place a runner rug along the side of the bed instead. This layout gives you a comfortable rug, unique texture, and new pattern/design without overwhelming the rest of the room.

Branching Out

Although Scandinavian style typically uses warm colors to create its cozy tone, you can stray away from that color scheme to create something more modern and moody. By basing your room's color scheme in different greys and silvers, you can create a more dramatic Scandinavian space.

Empty Space

No matter what interior design style you fall into, it can be tempting to fill every empty space with wall art or another accent. However, keeping some space blank helps create a streamlined Danish bedroom and highlight the minimalism of the aesthetic.

Tailored Traditions

While most Scandinavian bedrooms lean more modern, there is no reason why the style cannot be more traditional. By using traditional rugs, lamps, and other artwork, you can complement the minimalist Scandi furniture and architecture of the room while adding some class.

Authenticity

To keep your modern scandinavian bedroom from feeling too manufactured or simplistic, look for opportunities to add vintage pieces into the room. Whether you do this through a vintage side table, artwork, or other furniture/accents, you can add personal pieces and create a more homey space.
