GIVE YOUR LIVING ROOM SCANDINAVIAN ELEGANCE - Ideal Home, Britain's best-selling homes magazine

An elegant Scandinavian living room

Create timeless style with a cool blue & white living room.

This is a look that simply doesn't date. Choose classic shapes, elegant white- painted furniture and a pale backdrop punctuated by a beautiful dusky blue.

How to get the look

Mix stripes and patterns. Good-quality cushions can be very pricey – so why not make your own with a typically Scandinavian combination
of ticking and toiles?

Use elegant styles. Combine beautifully designed furniture like a circular side table and lamp with subtle blues and creamy white – a colour combination that's always a winner.

Create a classic display. Add interest to a plain wall with a new take on a traditional idea – hang a collection of fine porcelain plates and saucers above a sideboard for an eye-catching display.
