GREEN PEACE

Treat your hearth to a burst of freshness by incorporating botanicals into your home. We love how greenery with stature adds structure to an interior, while petite potted plants dotted around the domicile inject the indoors with a subtle touch of verdure. Trailing wisps of foliage hung either from the ceiling or down windows inject a careless Bohemian spirit – augmenting a home’s relaxed vibe.

SOFT FOCUS

Pastel tones aren’t a stranger in a Scandi dwelling. However, make sure that the colours are added sparingly to spark just the right amount of interest and warmth to its predominantly neutral base.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

Scandinavian-themed homes are big on lighting – and not just for practical reasons. General and task lighting provides illumination to enhance visibility around the house or when duty calls, but accent types like recessed or track lights create mood. For atmosphere without much of the investment, opt for floor or table lamps. By simply switching off the glare and illuminating the room with soothing pools of light, you’ll create an ambience that is conducive for lounging around and unwinding.
