The boho-Scandinavian design style, like all great fusions, takes the best of both aesthetics—the Scandi sense of beauty in simplicity and the bohemian bold and freestyle. The two styles work so well together because of their inherent similarities rather than their differences.

What Is the Scandinavian-Bohemian Design Style?

It’s a mix of minimalist and freestyle in decorating the room. The mix of neutral color walls, a handcrafted mix of decorative items, bold patterns, sumptuous textures, and clean-lined mid century modern-inspired furniture will create a cozy and clean ambiance into the room. This style is best for you who love natural and organic materials, multilayered texture, cozy, uncluttered aesthetic.

Follow these 5 tips to create your own well-balanced Scandinavian-Boho space. 

Neutral wall color

White and neutral colors are the base for a bright, calm, and airy Scandinavian aesthetic, meanwhile black, as well as richly-pigmented colors like pinkish-brown and gray-green accents, are the colors of bohemian style. To reach this interior style, you can keep neutral wall colors and mix them with bolder tones from the furniture and decorative accents to represent both styles. By mixing and matching this color, it will make your room cozier and calm. 

Go with natural furnishings

Scandinavian and boho styles are both inspired by nature. Bringing natural and eco-conscious furniture and décor items which are also sustainable is an easy way to get the look. You can just go with minimalist designed furniture made from natural material and hand-made and mix it with natural décor items like rattan pendant lamp, natural rug, and natural fiber mirror. 

Mix the lighting

Good lighting is the key to this mashup interior style. Sculptural lighting can be a good choice and act as a focal point in your Scandinavian-bohemian home. Mixing up different light sources, such as overhead, accent, and task lighting will bring a dramatic ambiance to your room. For instance, in the living room, you can go with a rattan pendant lamp first and hang it near the center of the room. Furthermore, adding a soffit or valence light in the room will highlight and bring a warm ambiance to the walls, curtains, or the room’s décor. 

In addition, accent lights can bring a dramatic effect on the wall art, and table lamps can be placed beside the chair to add another layer of light, depending on the theme of the room. To add a warmer and cozier ambiance, putting some candles will never go wrong.

Play with the texture

No Scandinavian-boho interior style is complete without any texture. The more textures and materials you use throughout the space, the deeper and more inviting it becomes. For instance, when infused with fringed, embroidered, and fluffy textiles, even a monochromatic palette comes to life. Hang a mirror combined with natural material such as seagrass, rattan, or raffia on its edge, and then mix and match it with natural color carpet made from seagrass will work well in this interior style. 

Choose good quality furniture

Good quality furniture and home décor are the number one to check before bringing it in with you, partly because of this interior style’s eco-conscious principles of buying once and buying well, Quality, not quantity, is the key rule in this interior style. Furthermore, the high-quality product applies not only to your furniture but to everything in your Scandinavian-boho style room, such as accessories, lighting, or decor.

In addition, investing in good quality furniture means saving the environment because it does not easily end up in a landfill. Purchasing less and investing a little more money into your furniture will save both you and the environment in the long haul.
