Filled with Hygge, (the Danish word for comfort) Scandinavian bedrooms are light and airy, layered with cozy accents that inspire peace and restfulness. With a focus on a limited color palette sprinkled with the warmth of natural woods, we’ve put together a selection of bedroom ideas showing that capturing the serenity and simple sophistication of Scandinavian decor has never been easier.
Scandinavian Modern Beds
Clean lined, simple design rings true in the realm of Scandinavian Beds. Often showcasing solid wood construction (typically oak) with either a natural, or rich brown finish, Scandinavian beds can sometimes be accented with metal detailing for a nod to industrial design. Built to age gracefully while providing you nights of sleeping comfort, look for well-structured frames with either a solid wood or upholstered headboard for a classic design that will both anchor your bedroom and lay a fantastic foundation for your Scandi lifestyle.

Scandinavian Modern Bedroom Dressers
Providing ample storage solutions for bedrooms without closets or in need of additional space, Scandinavian dresser designs offer streamlined, yet sophisticated form with clean lines and zero frills, for uncomplicated and supremely functional furniture. Durable, elegant, and convenient, solid oak wood is the favorite material for Scandinavian storage, while rich finishes in black, gray, and brown can bring warmth and dimension to play off of a neutral-finished wall and metal accents. Maximize your storage potential with the Shadow 3-Door with 2 Drawer Dresser for a design that includes drawers, shelving, and a hanging unit for all your finest duds.

Scandinavian Modern Nightstands
Meant to balance your bedroom and accentuate your bed frame while providing a welcomed storage solution, Scandinavian nightstands are focused on clean lines and pure functionality. Select a naturally finished option to match your bed frame and create a cohesive bedroom design, or opt for a richly finished piece in warm wood tones that lets the gorgeous woodgrain and natural knotting shine through. Decide how much storage space you’ll require for bedside essentials and if that can be contained with open shelves, drawers, or a combination of the two. Top with a chic table lamp, vase of flowers, or a stack of your favorite reads, and your nightstand will start serving its purpose almost immediately.

Scandinavian Modern Bedroom Rugs
Thick, chunky weaves and dense piles are all a yes in our book when it comes to selecting a Scandinavian bedroom rug. For that perfect touch of softness underfoot when getting in and out of your bed, look for a rug that is hand-woven or hand-loomed for quality construction and an elevated touch of texture. For a long-lasting and easy-to-clean design, wool is king, and will stand up to high-traffic and everyday use, while vacuuming regularly should keep it looking top notch.

Scandinavian Modern Bedroom Pendants
Pendants overhead or flanking either side of your master bed brings much-needed brightness and effortless decor to your bedroom. So as not to overwhelm your space or make it feel crowded, a medium-sized fixture of 15 to 28 inches in diameter is ideal to center your sleep space, while a smaller lighting fixture with an 8 to 12 inch diameter can act as a reading light when suspended on either side of your bed. For an unexpected touch of texture, try a feathered pendant for a pleasantly warm glow suggesting soft surroundings.

Scandinavian Modern Table Lamps
Whether simple and structured, or LED-powered and portable, a bedside lamp brings an accented touch of brightness that every bedroom needs. Select a neutral tone in shades of white, cream, beige, black, or gray that effortlessly accentuates your bedroom walls and furniture, while providing ample light to read or relax. Additional features such as touch dimmers, USB charging ports, and natural marble accents can add technological sophistication and offer ease of use for your everyday routine.

Scandinavian Modern Bedroom Decor
Fresh, clean, and mostly minimalist, Scandinavian bedroom decor should both elevate and accentuate without unnecessary crowding or complication of your overall aesthetic. Throws and pillows help to create a layered look that is filled with comfort, while leather-accented or solid wood trays provide a spot for storage or display. A ceramic vase brings a natural touch filled with floral beauty, while floating shelves provide additional storage that doesn’t take up any square footage.
