Scandinavian interior design highlights simplicity, minimalism, and functionality.
Scandinavian design has been around since the 1950s and remains a popular trend today.
When decorating your bedroom in Scandinavian style, focus on simplicity and functionality.
Use shades that capture & reflect lots of natural light such as soft grays, blues, charcoal, mauves, and milky whites.
A Scandi-inspired bedroom should create a restful atmosphere – so go for soft natural fabrics, minimal clutter, small touches of nature, and anything that spreads natural light throughout the room.
The goal is to keep life simple – and comfortable.
In this article, we present ten new bright and fresh Scandinavian bedroom decor ideas to help you incorporate this feeling into your home. Enjoy!
1. Empty Poster Frame
To bring that Scandinavian minimalist feel into your existing bedroom, try adding a large empty frame to beg interest and contemplation.
Empty frames are a popular design touch in many Scandinavian bedrooms.
2. Use Color For Contrast
The right color contrast is important to the overall aesthetic of any Scandinavian bedroom.
Anything will work – your furniture, beddings, fabrics, or wall paint.
For example, notice how this beautiful white Scandinavian bedroom works so much better with the addition of a royal blue bed.

Play with the colors, whether in your pillows, linens, area rugs, accessories, art, furnishings, or even flowers.
