Scandinavian style nursery

Nordic basics

The Scandinavian-style baby room is practical and, due to its minimalism, is absolutely safe even for a toddler. It gives a flight of imagination and develops creative thinking.

Floor

For the floor, natural wood of light colors is used here: flooring or parquet board. A budget option is high-quality linoleum or laminate, which are not natural materials, but look similar to them. Color solutions, like the entire interior of the room, must be kept in light colors. The color of delicate mint is suitable – children love shades of green.

Designer recommendation: When choosing laminate or parquet flooring, look for single-strip views with beveled edges. When properly processed and served, it will look like an expensive floorboard..

Ceiling

The main part of the interior – the ceiling – can only be perfectly flat and white, painted with paint or covered with whitewash. This visually expands the room, increases its height and size, and makes it more spacious. The Scandinavian style adheres to minimalism and does not tolerate excesses, therefore we immediately exclude decorations, stucco molding and any decorative elements.

Walls

If you can think of anything while fulfilling the light and sustained in the severity of the Scandinavian interior the floor and ceiling, then the walls are an opportunity to show your individuality and imagination..

Light colors visually expand the children’s room, make it lighter, and also serve as a good background for bright decorative elements. It would be most appropriate to simply paint the walls with white or milky paint, cover with light monochromatic wallpaper or sheathe with wooden panels. This is a style classic, but childish, not a place for boring tones. Get creative, experiment, add shades and textures.

Waterproof paint is not afraid of dirt – it is washed with warm water and powder.

Wood panels and wallpaper create a certain coziness.

These decisions are explained by the harsh climate and typical dwellings with cramped apartments in which people have to huddle..

Designer recommendation: Non-woven children’s wallpaper, so popular in the world, comes from Sweden. They are produced for children of all ages: girls, boys. Craftsmen combine several colors and get interior spots: plain, neutral colors, wallpapers are diluted with bright pictures or geometric shapes. Chalk wallpapers, which are just coming into fashion, will allow your child and you to show artistic abilities. The material allows you to draw with chalk without prejudice to the interior and then erase boring old drawings.

Fashionable Scandinavian style for the nursery

Furniture

Gives a Scandinavian-style interior lightness – the furniture is functional and laconic with delicate carvings, calligraphic inscriptions or forged elements.

Since the furniture should be functional, not clutter up the space (remember that there is little space in the room), then it contains modular or folding elements with a huge number of drawers and decorative boxes.

Instead of bulky designs that are more familiar to us, chests of drawers with open shelves are used in this style. Books, toys and souvenirs are placed on them. Small items are stored in baskets, chests or colorful wall panels with many pockets, woven from natural straw.

In the Scandinavian countries, children’s furniture, shaped like a house, is popular. This could be a bed, a wardrobe, or a toy rack..

Designer recommendation: Pay special attention to furniture in the nursery – it should be multifunctional, and, of course, durable. Since children grow up quickly, it is necessary that the furniture “grows” with them and does not require frequent replacement. To do this, select practical furniture made of natural wood: pine, beech, spruce.

The main accents of the decor

A special place is allocated to the ethnos in the Scandinavian style. It will emphasize the unusual interior of the room, help to embody bold and unusual ideas..

No matter how boring the nursery is – to decorate the walls, the application of bright pictures and the placement of stickers of clouds, raindrops, fish are used. At the same time, an ordinary room is significantly transformed and looks light and fun. Let your baby fill and color his room himself.

Designer recommendation: The interior will be completed by filling it with bed linen, unusual pillows, a rug with ethnic patterns or a bright carpet with geometric shapes. Play of colors. Scattered bright toys will complement the interior of the room well. Place them everywhere: on the shelf, floor and windowsill – and there will be a real celebration of color against the background of the main neutrals. Children build houses from everything that comes under their hands: blankets, pillows and chairs. Build a wigwam from sticks, matter – let it be the pride of the owner. Show resourcefulness and imagination, come up with its design and design yourself.

Lighting is the head of everything

The main importance for the child’s room is given to lighting. As planned: the windows are made of wood, match the tone of the floor, must have huge sashes and not impede the passage of light and heat. Window curtains are not hung.

In the interior, vases, mirrors of various shapes and sizes, placed at the only correct angle, that would reflect the rays of the rare sun in those parts of the world and illuminate the room with different colors, look advantageous.

A room is usually equipped with several types of lighting, in addition to the main one. A separate light source is placed in each zone: above the bed, above the desk, in the play corner and in the reading corner. There are also several portable lamps – to illuminate individual unlit areas. To comply with the general style of the room, lamps and chandeliers, like everything related to the Scandinavians, are laconic and inconspicuous.

Scandinavian rugs

Since any child loves to play on the floor, it is a good solution – bright rugs and a bunch of pillows of different shapes scattered on the floor with bright ornaments or images of fairy-tale characters and animals. The carpet, according to the established rules of style, can merge with the general interior, or stand out as a bright spot. But here you need to know when to stop. You cannot overdo it, otherwise a cozy children’s room, from a riot of colors, will cease to be such. Use soft shades of green, blue and red.

The carpet can also be with a long pile. It is more practical and suitable for long-term presence and play of the child on the floor..

Textile

As noted earlier, there may be no curtains in the nursery. But if you cannot imagine comfort without them, then the fabric should be natural, neutral in color or, on the contrary, a bright spot..

To make a bed in a Scandinavian way – choose simple, plain textiles, but with different textures, or bright, contrasting ones with fabulous themes. A good solution to the northern style, for example, would be a quilted bedspread or a chunky knit blanket. And pillows will favorably complement the interior of the room and create additional flavor..

In addition, a fabric canopy, a wigwam and, of course, toys are well suited. Where is without them in the nursery? This is where you can get creative and go through the colors. Brightly colored toys, placed correctly, will attract attention and hide some blemishes and clutter..

Accessories

Colorful decorations – flags, pictures and posters, family photos in special frames, decorative houses, heads of deer and other animals – will perfectly complete the composition. And don’t be afraid, it’s hard to overdo it here. These will be unusual little things that fit into the general Scandinavian style that will delight you and your child..

Now let’s talk about how not to repeat yourself

To avoid the similarity of the baby’s room with the rooms of other children and, most importantly, with the store’s exposition, mothers use the following tricks:

The main source of Scandinavian style for the country is IKEA. To bring a new trend, and not be like others – dilute the set of this company with another – carved, openwork furniture. Combine them.
Add variety to the standard models. Change the handles in a regular closet, whatnot. Paint, pattern on the shelf, make improvements to the design. Stick on a decal, tie a ribbon, or paint with crayons. Let them become different from others.

Elegant simplicity is always held in high esteem, which is why the harsh Viking style is gaining popularity among parents. This style is suitable for a child’s room – it has everything for the child’s development, a lot of space for outdoor games, and light colors have a beneficial effect on his condition and give confidence in security, peace and tranquility. Furniture made of natural materials cannot look boring and impersonal. The interior breathes with kindness, lightness and the laughter of a child will perfectly fit into it.
