Five Steps to Achieve Your Dream Scandi-Home Aesthetic

Step One: Less is More
So, you've heard that less is more, right? And nowhere is that more true than in Scandi style. It's all about simplicity. Clean lines, minimal clutter and a focus on functionality. This isn't just awesome, it's practical too!
Step Two: Opt for Neutral Palette
Next, let's talk about color. Or rather, the lack thereof. Ever notice how Scandinavian homes seem so bright, even though they get less daylight? Well, that's because they usually stick to a light, neutral palette. I’m talking white, beige, and light greys. Can you imagine just how calming that would feel?
Step Three: Embrace Natural Materials
After that, let's bring the outdoors in. From furniture to accessories, opting for natural materials like wood, pebbles, and cotton is a key feature of this style. And here's my favorite part, Grace and Ashes has an incredible range of homeware items made from sustainable materials.
Step Four: Layer Textures
Now, you might think that a Scandi aesthetic sounds a bit cold and sterile, right? But here's where we add warmth. Layering textures with cushions, throws, and rugs gives the space an inviting, homely feel. It's all about balance.
Step Five: Play with Lighting
Finally, lighting is key. Soft, ambient lighting creates a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Now we’re talking, hygge! Think table lamps, floor lamps, and candles. In fact, Grace and Ashes has an amazing selection of candles that would be perfect!
