Create a Scandinavian Style Home

Scandinavian interiors are designed with minimalism and practicality in mind. They are simple, clean, functional and full of charm. Our friends up north know exactly how to make a space feel mindful by incorporating shades of white and wood - think light wood cabinetry, matte iron pulls and white walls. The Scandi interior style is perfect for those who want an open space that is decluttered, provides a sense of peace and exudes warmth and comfort.

If you’re looking for Scandi inspiration and ideas, then look no further than our curated collection full of everything you need from bathroom vanities, paint, blinds & curtains and everything in between, all hand picked by our in-house Interior Designer!

How to get the scandinavian look:

  • Work with a soft colour palette – think white, pale grey and pastel paint colours
  • In Scandinavian style homes, clean lines and minimal design are key
  • Keep it simple and stick to two tiles - one for a statement and the other to balance the room/the look
  • Light coloured timber accents are a Scandi staple and add warmth and texture
  • Contrasting textures enhance the space – try bamboo mats, textured tiles, sheer curtains and plants
  • Minimal doesn’t have to mean empty – decorate carefully with like wicker baskets, stylish ornaments and display shelving

Traps to avoid:

  • Being boring – Scandinavian design is minimal, but still ultra cool
  • Channelling the IKEA catalogue – hey, we all love IKEA, right? But make sure you don’t forget to inject your own personality into the room!
  • Making it too cold. Think sauna, not ice cave, with warm lighting and underfloor heating
  • Don’t overpower your home with statement tiles or dark timber flooring

The Scandinavian Bathroom: Effortless Style Meets Everyday Functionality

There's something quietly revolutionary about Scandinavian bathroom design. It's not just another passing trend - it's a philosophy that transforms ordinary spaces into sanctuaries of calm. At The Blue Space, we've seen firsthand how this approach resonates with Australian homeowners who crave both beauty and practicality in their most private spaces.

The Heart of Scandinavian Bathroom Design

What makes Scandinavian bathrooms so special isn't what they include, but what they leave out. This design approach strips away the unnecessary while carefully preserving warmth and character. The magic lies in the balance:

  • Light becomes a design element - Those pale walls and reflective surfaces aren't just pretty; they combat our long winters and make compact spaces breathe

  • Every material earns its place - From the grain of timber vanities to the texture of stone basins, each choice serves both aesthetic and practical purposes

  • Storage disappears elegantly - Clever solutions mean your toothpaste and toiletries have dedicated homes, not countertop real estate

  • Nature comes indoors - Whether through actual plants or materials that age beautifully, there's always a connection to the outdoors

This isn't design for design's sake - it's thoughtful living distilled into your bathroom.

Building Your Scandinavian Sanctuary

1. The Foundation: Clean Lines, Calm Palette

Start with walls in soft whites or gentle greys - think of them as a canvas. Our customers often pair these with large-format tiles from our Japandi collection that create seamless expanses underfoot. The effect? A sense of space that belies actual square footage.

2. The Warmth Factor: Bringing Wood to Wet Spaces

There's an art to using timber in bathrooms. Teak bath mats that dry quickly, oak vanity tops treated for moisture resistance - these elements add organic warmth without compromising function. We particularly love how timber-look tiles from our samples range give the aesthetic without maintenance worries.

3. The Hidden Magic: Storage That Works Harder

Behind those clean surfaces lies serious ingenuity. A mirrored cabinet becomes both storage and light amplifier. Deep drawers in wall-hung vanities swallow bulky items. Even simple hooks placed strategically can keep towels handy but out of sight.

4. Lighting That Adapts to Your Needs

Scandinavians understand light like no other culture. In bathrooms, this means layers:

  • Overhead for general illumination

  • Task lighting at mirrors

  • Ambient options for relaxing soaks

Our lighting collection offers solutions for each need, all with that signature Scandinavian restraint.

5. The Secret Comfort: Warm Floors

There's nothing quite like stepping onto a warm floor on a chilly morning. Our underfloor heating systems deliver this luxury without intruding on your design - no bulky radiators, just invisible comfort.

Making It Work in Australian Homes

We've adapted these principles for local conditions:

  • Ventilation matters - Our bathroom heating and ventilation range ensures moisture doesn't linger

  • Local materials shine - Australian hardwoods and stones work beautifully within this aesthetic

  • Light plays differently - We consider how our harsh sunlight interacts with pale colour schemes

Why This Approach Endures

In a world of fleeting trends, Scandinavian design persists because it answers real needs:

  1. It ages gracefully - Those simple lines and quality materials look good for years

  2. It simplifies cleaning - Fewer nooks mean less grime buildup

  3. It adapts easily - Want to update? Change accessories, not entire fittings

Your Next Steps

  1. Start small - Swap out busy towels for neutral linens, or add a timber stool

  2. Edit ruthlessly - If something doesn't serve a purpose, reconsider its place

  3. Invest wisely - Choose key pieces like vanities or taps that will last

At The Blue Space, we've helped countless Australians create bathrooms that marry Scandinavian simplicity with local practicality. Our collections - from taps to tiles - are curated to make this style achievable at every budget level.

The most beautiful bathrooms aren't those that impress at first glance, but those that feel effortlessly right every single day. That's the Scandinavian promise - and it's within your reach.

Explore our Scandinavian-inspired collections to begin your transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What defines a Scandinavian-style bathroom?

A Scandinavian bathroom is characterised by minimalist design, clean lines, and a neutral colour palette, often featuring white walls and light timber accents. Natural materials like wood and stone are commonly used to add warmth and texture, creating a serene and functional space.

How can I incorporate warmth into a minimalist bathroom?

To add warmth to a minimalist bathroom, consider integrating natural wood elements such as timber vanities, shelving, or flooring. These materials not only provide texture but also soften the clean lines typical of Scandinavian design, making the space feel inviting and cosy.

What role does lighting play in Scandinavian bathroom design?

Lighting is crucial in Scandinavian bathrooms to enhance the bright and airy atmosphere. Maximising natural light through large windows or strategically placed mirrors can help illuminate the space. Additionally, layered artificial lighting, including ambient, task, and accent lights, ensures functionality and ambiance during darker hours.

Are bold colours suitable for a Scandinavian bathroom?

While Scandinavian design typically favours neutral tones, incorporating subtle accents of bold colours can add personality without overwhelming the space. Consider using black fixtures, coloured tiles, or vibrant accessories to introduce contrast and interest while maintaining the overall minimalist aesthetic.

How can I achieve a Scandinavian bathroom on a budget?

Achieving a Scandinavian bathroom on a budget is possible by focusing on key elements. Opt for affordable materials like white subway tiles and light-coloured laminate vanities. Incorporate DIY projects, such as creating wooden shelves or repurposing furniture, to add warmth and character. Accessorise with plants and minimalist décor to complete the look without significant investment.
