AKE no mistake, the Scandinavians have designs on us – whether they’re keeping us glued to the TV with dark Danish crime series The Killing or winning us over to their stylish home furnishings. While a select few may wish to emulate the scruffy look of Deputy Superintendent Sarah Lund (Sofie Grabol), who wears thick, knitted jumpers from the Faroe Islands, transforming rooms is easier and arguably more visually impressive. After all, what’s not to like about furniture that has timeless good looks, and colour schemes and settings that seem to make the most of every inch of space and every ray of light? That’s the essence of cool, calm, sleek Scandi-style. Those appealing qualities probably explain why we don’t seem to be able to get enough of it. “Scandinavians don’t like showing off, so their style is understated and more about relaxing and enjoying your home than making it a showpiece,” says Anne Tiainen-Harris, founder of Cloudberry Living, which specialises in interior pieces and accessories by Scandinavian designers. “It’s all about simple, pure and calm beauty combined with a high degree of functionality. “I think it’s hugely popular in Britain because space is very expensive here and Scandi-style helps create the illusion of space and airiness in any interior.” While connoisseurs may yearn for pieces by iconic designers such as Denmark’s Arne Jacobsen, whose Butterfly chair was famously straddled in the Sixties by a naked Christine Keeler, or fellow countrymen including Henrik Pedersen and Verner Panton, most of us probably get our Scandi-fix at

SWEDISH STARS Fans of the brooding BBC One series Wallander, featuring Swedish detective Kurt Wallander (Kenneth Branagh), have plenty of sources to plunder to replicate his style. Ikea, pivotal in shaping the British perception of Swedish design, has won us all over to pale, blonde furniture and slim sofas, not to mention helped us cheaply clear up our clutter with its best-selling
storage solution, the Billy bookcase, which starts from £19. But there are a wealth of other covetable ranges offered by other companies, which don’t require a screwdriver. “Scandinavian modern design, as a style, first emerged between the first and second world wars and peaked in popularity in the 50s,” says Rich Harris, who celebrates both Swedish and Danish style at his web-based company Chairs and Skyscrapers. “After a lull, it’s now ultra-chic again as the look fits so well with modern living. People are realising that its quality makes it durable, and its subtle
styling makes it versatile and able to blend easily with other pieces.”

FLIRTY & FINNISH There are plenty of ways to flirt with Scandi-style without spending a fortune, either by replicating the pared-back style of rooms or simply reflecting its design in a selection of accessories. “Symmetry is key to achieving the ordered, calm atmosphere that’s so characteristic of Scandinavian rooms,” advises Gail Abbott. “It’s an easy technique to emulate. A couple of painted wooden chairs might be arranged either side of a bureau, and decorative accessories like candlesticks are always displayed in pairs.”
