Scandinavian design is a beautiful and functional way to create an inviting nursery for your little one. This interior style emphasises natural materials, minimalist shapes and neutral tones to create a calming environment that still allows plenty of room for play. It’s becoming more common for parents to create Scandinavian inspired nurseries and there are so many benefits to this timeless style that will never go out of fashion.
If you’re currently trying to create a beautiful and welcoming space for your baby to grow and explore, we have created a list of useful tips for you. It’s easier than you may think to create a nursery interior design that encompasses some of the best elements of the Scandinavian style. No matter how big or small a nursery may be, you can create a special and calming environment for both you and your little one.
Use Neutral Colours
When you’re decorating a Scandinavian nursery, try to stick to a neutral colour scheme. Colours like white, cream and beige are perfect for nursery decor and they can help to create a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. Neutral colours won’t be too overpowering and they can help to make the room look and feel more spacious, and there are so many beautiful shades to choose from.
If you’re creating a gender-neutral nursery, a neutral colour palette can work very well and you can ensure the nursery is ready in advance of your little one’s arrival. Not to mention, neutral designs will last beyond your baby’s first year too and when you use classic colours to create a Scandinavian nursery, you won’t have to re-decorate any time soon.
Keep Things Simple
There are so many beautiful pieces of furniture and decor items available for nurseries, and it can be easy to get carried away when you’re creating a space for your little one. However, the Scandinavian style is all about simplicity and you shouldn’t overload the space with unnecessary items that don’t add anything to the interior.
When choosing the essentials that you need for the nursery, always have functionality and practicality in mind to help you find the perfect solutions for your space. There are lots of nursery furniture sets that can make it easy for you to create a simplistic and elegant nursery for your baby. Keeping things simple will prevent the space from feeling crowded and make the nursery more enjoyable to spend time in.
Have Lots of Storage
To achieve a minimalist design for your Scandinavian nursery, you need to make sure that everything has a home. It goes without saying that babies and toddlers have a lot of clothes and accessories, and you should make sure you have plenty of storage solutions in the nursery to prevent the space from becoming messy and unorganised.
In addition to having a wardrobe and chest of drawers for your little one’s clothes, it’s beneficial to have some extra storage space for all of the other everyday items you need. Nursery shelving is a great way to maximise storage space and help you to avoid clutter. The right storage solutions can help you to achieve the clean lines that are synonymous with the Scandi style.
Incorporate Natural Elements
Incorporating natural elements into a Scandinavian design will add a touch of warmth and cosiness to the nursery. Natural elements such as wood and plants can help to create a calming atmosphere and tranquil ambience in the space. Additionally, natural elements can help to bring the outdoors inside, adding texture and visual interest to the room.
Lots of high-quality Scandinavian nursery furniture is made from durable wood like oak and having a natural finish is an easy way to bring natural elements into the nursery. Using plants and flowers, whether they’re real or faux, can help to soften the Scandinavian style too and create a more inviting room. These finishing touches can make a big difference to the overall look and feel of the nursery.
Create a Cosy Atmosphere
A nursery should be a space that both you and your baby enjoy spending time in, and lots of parents struggle to design a room that is modern and stylish yet still homely. When you’re trying to create a Scandinavian nursery, you can combine a range of different textures to make the room feel much more welcoming.
Layering soft textures and using accessories like rugs and cushions can transform the space, and there are lots of ways you can elevate your Scandinavian design with decor items. If you have enough floor space, a nursing or feeding chair is an excellent way to make the nursery cosier and you will have somewhere to cuddle your little one.
Utilise Natural Light
You should always take advantage of natural light when you’re creating a Scandinavian nursery. Flooding the space with natural light can make the room feel brighter and more spacious. Using sheer curtains or window shutters can help you to control natural light and use it to create a beautiful space for your baby.
As well as using natural light to create a bright and airy atmosphere, think carefully about the artificial lighting you use in the space. In addition to having a main light in the room for ambient lighting, consider using accent lighting like lamps and wall lights to illuminate darker corners. Lighting can have such a huge impact on the look and feel of your nursery, and having a bright space is key to the Scandinavian style.
