Who doesn’t love that sumptuous Scandinavian décor with a ski chalet feel? Especially when it’s abundant in sheepskins, natural woods, bright white furniture and cool cashmere grays. It’s entirely possible to get the luxe chalet look in your own home. All it needs is some carefully thought out product planning and a keen eye for the Scandinavian style detail.

Scandinavian style is all about simplicity, good looks, and function. But at the same time, to create a décor that resembles a Nordic ski chalet look you’ll want to add warmth and texture to create a sumptuous three-dimensional feel.

Scandinavian Furnishings
Furniture is chosen for its craftsmanship and utility, and the focus is on lots of light, white and earthy muted hues.
In The Living Room
Scandinavian decor has never really loved carpet. The look leans much more toward wood flooring. Carpet One’s laminate flooring range creates the look of natural wood at affordable prices. For Scandi style choose light white and gray oak colors such as their Authentic Oak and Light Brushed Pine. For extra warmth and texture, you can then add sumptuous sheepskin rugs or stylish reindeer skins. Your textile palette should include soft grays and blues with a backdrop of white. Think linens, leather, and soft brushed cotton for Nordic décor. Use cushions, blankets, and throws over sofas and chairs for a snug and inviting feel.
Nordic style is also about showing off the wood. Light wood is favored and you can use a gray oil on any pine or oak furnishing to drag out the yellow undertones. Charles Eames Eiffel Tower chairs look great in a Scandi-style living/dining room. As do chaise-lounge sofas and recliners. And for true Nordic style invest in an iconic chair from Danish furniture designer Hans Wegner. Fresh flowers and botanical beauty are also an important part of the culture. So be sure to have tall clear vases with fresh cut flowers and green plants to keep your space ecologically friendly.
