Scandinavian decor is extremely popular due to its hygge and lagom feel and natural accents that make any room stylish and cozy without much effort or a big budget. I think that this type of decoration is best suited for autumn or winter because in these seasons we need more comfort and coziness than in spring or summer.
How do you design a Scandinavian autumn room?
The color scheme can be truly Nordic: black, shades of gray and white or ivory, but if it’s autumn, go for a few splashes of autumn colors. Naturalness is one of the main features of such decoration. Therefore, add natural wood, bring pine cones, apples, antlers, pumpkins, twigs and autumn leaves. Knit and fur or faux fur accessories are great for fall or winter decorating because it’s so nice to wrap them in a knit blanket in front of the fireplace or just on the sofa when it’s raining outside. Be inspired by the following ideas and create your cozy autumn room!

Colors and materials
Scandinavian decor is all about airy and neutral decor that can be spiced up with grays, black and some metallics. Try different textures and materials to spice up your decor: porcelain, faux fur, wicker, wood, stone and other materials to make the decor cooler and more appealing. Use natural colors here – strong shades and patterns are not desired. If you still want some patterns, prefer botanical or animal patterns but in simple and muted tones for a natural feel.
