There's more to Scandinavian design beyond what's at Ikea. Scandinavia, which loosely includes Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, has a long heritage of beautiful home furnishings and is renowned for incorporating clean lines, utilizing a neutral color palette, and emphasizing both function and form. Scandinavian-inspired interior design (or as TikTok dubs it: "Scandi home decor") offers a unique and calming ambiance that is perfect for creating an inviting and comfortable home. To incorporate this style and feel into your home, we rounded up the best Scandi home decor and furniture.

With its emphasis on simplicity, functionality, and natural materials, this style of home decor and furniture incorporates textiles and upholstery that exude warmth and texture. Think wood, bouclé, ivory or earthy fabrics, and leather. Scandi-inspired design also emphasizes coziness, or the Danish concept of hygge, which encourages creating a relaxing and inviting space. You can do this by adding comfy throw blankets and pillows, amber lighting, and softer upholstery or lighter tones. With all these textures and tones at play, it's also important to remember that minimalism is a key part of the Scandinavian look, which delivers that contemporary feel to a space. Choose pieces that feature geometric silhouettes and patterns, clean lines, and it's important to stick to a core color palette. Multifunctional furniture can also help free up your space and give it an uncluttered look.

Whether you're looking for a comfy couch or lounge chair, a gorgeous, natural coffee table, or throw blankets, we found plenty of Scandi home decor for your space. One of our favorite places to shop for Scandinavian-inspired furniture is Article. We also found affordable, cozy accents from retailers like Amazon and Target.
