Time to get hygge with it

When it comes to sophisticated decor with a touch of soft and cosy, nothing surpasses that Scandi look and feel, says Sam Wylie-harris

STAG PARTY

Wilko Antler Hurricane Glass Vase, £5, Wilko

An inspired choice, it’s tempting to snap up two of these antler glass vases to get double the enjoyment from this elegant design. But the true beauty would be revealed when both are illuminated, providing a lovely warming glow for your living area. Simply pop a tea light into each and place them either end of a kitchen or dining room table, or use them to bookend a winter white bouquet.

DISPLAY WOOLY THINKING Tibetan Sheepskin Bench – Mink, £695, The White Company

Our main object of desire… A masterful use of natural oak legs, topped with Tibetan sheepskin for the perfect silhouette.

Versatile enough to suit minimalist room sets, you could always add a new dimension by placing the bench in front of a mid-century teak mirror or similar.

LOOKING ALL WHITE

Portobello 12 Piece Dinner Set, £136, The White Company

Nobody does white better than The White Company. This classic white glaze hits all the right tablescaping notes and come dinnertime, these durable clay plates will contrast beautifully against the vivid colours of gravadlax, beetroot and prawn mayonnaisey with fresh dill.

KNICK-KNACK NO-NO

Alma Large Sideboard, £725, Metal Window Mirror, £150, Next

With no room for clutter, a large sideboard is your best storage solution. Knick-nacks are a no-no in the world of Scandi interiors, and once you’ve swept everything away – for the ultimate edit, you can always use packing cases as space savers and keep this sideboard for tableware – chances are you’ll appreciate the simplicity of good workmanship.

JUST-SO STORAGE

Wire Storage Baskets with Handle – White or Grey, £8 each

A nifty idea to stop cooking utensils cluttering up your kitchen work surface, we love these storage baskets with carry handles – easy to lift when you’re wiping worktops clean and laying the table – to keep everything just so.

NICE SPREAD

Cosy Fleece Duvet Cover And Pillowcase Set – Dark Mink, from £28£58, Hartford Bed, from £575, Next Bedtime bliss courtesy of a functional fleece? Absolutely. Cuddling up in cosy bedding has never looked more inviting, especially when you factor in swatches of faux fur on the bedside table and underfoot, not to mention a bedframe upholstered in a muted wool blend. ‘Suite’ Scandi dreams!
