Nordic Neutral

Natural materials are helping to add texture to traditional Scandi style schemes, with wicker and rattan among the favourites, particularly for furniture and lighting.

Shades of parchment, linen and stone are accented by soft taupes, baby blues and a new addition to the paint palette for this season, lilac.

It’s an unfussy, timeless look that makes the most of unfinished woods, warm wools, woven basketware and handcrafted ceramics. Layered self-patterned fabrics help to create a chilled-out vibe to furnishings. Profiles are slim rather than chunky, though, less country home and more Scandi mid-century modern. It’s a paired-back style that needs good storage to keep it looking at its best and the latest innovation from BLUM, the Space Step is the perfect addition in any room. Its dual function as a kick-plate pull-out step and a storage space takes cabinet plinths to the next level.
