I have collected here some tips and suggestions for creating a chic Scandinavian boho style home decor. Earlier I made an article about what is Scandi home decor (you can find it any clicking here). It is a functional and minimalist style, and by adding some boho flavours, you can create a warmer and cosier atmosphere without loosing the airy & light look.
Modern Scandinavian Boho style home decor
Pick up Unique Hand-Made Pieces
It can be a wall art or a pretty ceramics bowl to give that final touch to your Scandi boho home. The unique pieces are eye-catching and add personality to the place.
Visit local galleries and workshops to see what they to offer. You can also find wonderful pieces in art markets without breaking a bank.
Select a Calming Colour Palette
Boho style in home decor is associated with bright rich colours. So how does it go with a Scandinavian decor? When boho style is mixed with Scandi decor the colour palette looks a bit different. In this case the palette is full of soft earthy tones - usually different shades of beige and white. Adding a bit of black gives a bit of sharpness for the dreamy soft look.
I would recommend to have the walls in white tone - any hue from even bright white to a creamy one will look good. If you want to go bold, a black accent wall is for you.
Of course, you can have a real accent colour if you wish. That colour shouldn’t be too vibrant so choose a soft tone of any of your fave colour. A blush pink, olive green, ochre yellow - just to mention a few - will go beautifully in small amounts.
Decorate with Big Photo Poster
One big photo poster looks great in a Scandi boho style home. Choose an image you like best. It can be a palm leaf, waves of the sea or an animal print. One of my favourite one is a Highland cow poster in black and white. The image is strong yet sweet.
Get the Lighting Right
With the right lighting you can change the atmosphere easily. Those modern buildings usually have ready installed led spot lights in the ceiling. Those make a good overall lighting. For the right atmosphere you would also need table and floor lamps. People usually need a lot of light time to time - for working, for cleaning etc. - so it is good to have that option too. Yet we also want to have a cosy feeling at home so dimming effect is quite a must.
Choose Beautiful Boho Accessories
Less is more when it comes to the Scandinavian home decor. I would recommend to choose a couple of statement pieces - they don’t even need to have a function, just to look gorgeous.
Ceramics and glass vases as well as wooden items go perfectly with Scandi boho style. Don’t forget rattan baskets! Decorative pieces made of wooden beads give a nice finished touch.
Scandi Boho Bathroom Decor
As we know now Scandinavian boho decor is all about neutrals. You can play with different whites, beige, greige (mix of beige and grey) and different sizes what comes to tiles. match together big and mosaics tiles.
Floating wooden vanity units look modern, stylish and it’s practical as well. Of course, it matches perfectly to Scandi boho home. Simple towel racks and hooks are the best choice.
Ceramics accessories and wooden decor items look beautiful. I love a simple hanging item made of wooden beads.
Use Natural Materials
Wood, rattan, glass, ceramics and linen are the main materials for Scandi boho home style. You cannot go wrong with these natural and organic materials.
Foe example choose:
a wooden dining table with rattan chairs
a comfy sofa in linen
wool and/or jute rugs
linen curtains
bamboo lamp shades
ceramics and glass items
