Folksy yet refined Try a splash of Scandinavia Kim Cook The Associated Press Perhaps to alleviate the dreariness of long northern winters, Scandinavian style tends toward folk-art florals, crisp checks, plaids and stripes, and wood furniture left natural or painted in colours that evoke the region’s natural beauty. The look is casual and easy, with playful touches and a simple yet refined vibe. If all that sounds appealing as you shake off winter’s gloom, you’ll find many pretty Scandinavianinspired decor options for spring.

This spring, Ikea honours its Scandinavian roots with an extensive collection including designer Eva Lundgreen’s Akerkulla floral motif curtains and rugs. The Hemnes furniture collection really nails the Swedish look with a linen cabinet
in a deep red, a bed frame in grey and a shelving unit in blue. An airy, pared-down version of neoclassical design was the hallmark of 18th century Gustavian design, which has become popular outside of Sweden in the last 20 years. Ikea’s Isala side table is a great example, in clean white or forget-menot blue. In textiles, you’ll find a kicky pink gingham check in the Emmie Ruta duvet cover, and a country floral in the Eivor Leva duvet cover. At The Company Store, there’s the cottage charm of the Carrie comforter cover in an orange crewel work floral motif on earthy chambray cotton. The tailored yet elegant Hampton table comes in gentle shades of tarragon, ash and tan. Meanwhile, Anthropologie’s got the Amora bedding set with a colourful graphic on snowy white.
