Scandinavian style is very popular all around the world as it’s serene and fresh, relaxed and beautiful, organic and inviting. It comes to all the spaces designed in this style, and kids’ rooms are no exception. To show you the beauty of Scandinavian kids’ spaces, we’ve prepared some beautiful nurseries and some tips to design a cool one.
Color Schemes
A clean, white space is a must for the Scandinavian nursery. A blank canvas creates the perfect background for mixing textures and patterns. A warm off-white or even a light grey or cream achieves the same effect. Mixing and matching different light neutrals works well too – for example, pairing white with natural canvas and light woods. Add depth and variety to the monochrome base with different textures such as a plush white rug, painted furniture, and pillows with white-accented patterns. Use a variety of patterns for added interest – for example, a fun, illustrative wallpaper pattern, triangular patterns in the rug, and circular patterns in the laundry bag.
Using black and white in your nursery is also a good way to create a high contrast, visually stimulating space for your child. It is well known that babies respond well to simple, high contrast patterns, providing visual stimulation and promoting their development by keeping them captivated and engaged.
A completely black and white room can look chic and fresh, but can sometimes feel almost too modern, especially for a nursery. Adding a few bold colors (virtually any color goes well with black and white), or a wide palette of soft colors like pastels can make this look feel much more cozy and fun.

Furniture
A key element is to embrace the clean and simple lines and forms of modern design. Go for geometric shapes and color-blocked themes rather than curves and trendy gradients. Choose furniture that is not ornate or complex but rather sleek and linear. Storage units can double as decor – for example, woven baskets can double as toy storage, as can ottomans, underbed boxes, etc. When purchasing toys, keep in mind that they will be part of the design and thus will fit better if they are complementary to the space.
