The bedroom, where Scandinavian style excels
Of all the rooms in the home, the bedroom is where Scandinavian style gives its very best. Natural light slipping in, pale linen, light wood, few objects. It is the ideal setting for a poster that soothes more than it asserts.
Mood 1: the misty forest
A poster of a boreal forest at daybreak, in blue-gray and pale green tones, hung above the headboard in a pale oak frame. An instant cocoon effect, perfect for corner bedrooms that get little direct light.
Mood 2: the antique herbarium
A vintage botanical plate, with ferns or a herbarium of wildflowers, in vertical A3 with an off-white mat. A 19th-century cabinet of curiosities effect, revisited the Scandinavian way.
Mood 3: the duo of delicate birds
2 A4 posters of birds drawn in fine pen, a tit and a robin for example, lined up above a dresser. Understated, intimate, restful.
Mood 4: the winter landscape
A mountain under the moon, a frozen lake, wooden cabins against a snowy backdrop. Particularly beautiful in a north-facing bedroom, where the cool natural light plays off the image.
Mood 5: sage pastel
A floral composition in sage, pale ocher and powder pink tones. Light maple frame, generous mat. A modern Scandinavian cottage effect.

A Scandinavian poster for a calm bedroom
The bedroom is the room of calm. Scandinavian style is its perfect cousin: washed linen, pale wood, soft light. A well-chosen Scandinavian poster for the bedroom extends the room’s sense of ease without breaking it. Here is how to select one without falling into Pinterest clichés.
The soothing Scandinavian subject
Vintage botanicals, delicate birds, snowy watercolor landscapes, herbarium plates. Avoid typographic quotes. See our botanical collection.
The right size for the bedroom
A2 or A3 above the bed. Avoid A1, which can feel overwhelming directly above the head.

Scandinavian colors in the bedroom
Ivory, sage green, rosy beige. 3 colors maximum. Avoid saturated shades that get in the way of sleep.

Overdone Hygge clichés with printed quotes. Sports or industrial subjects that belong in other rooms.
