Scandinavian wall decor focuses on crafting a calm and chic ambiance without excess. Here are 20 ideas to turn your walls into a Nordic-inspired sanctuary.
Art with Textures
Put different textures for deepness and fun. I love putting cloth prints with cloth art for a cozy touch in my lounge spot.
DIY Cloth Paintings
Get fun with DIY cloth paintings for a special touch. I painted a simple abstract piece that matches my sleep space’s colors. These artistic accents also pair beautifully with modern living room designs with grey floors.
Easy Plant Drawings
Plant drawings are key in Scandinavian style, giving a bit of nature and class. I’ve made a wall of easy leaf drawings in my hall, and it gets praised all the time.
Abstract Line Art
Abstract line art gives a simple grace to any wall. In my work area, a simple line drawing of a face gives a soft art touch that’s both calming and gets me going.
Brighten with Soft Colors
Soft soft colors can add a soft pop to your decor. I put soft-color art in my study to brighten the space without taking it over. For more ways to elevate your space, check out our modern headboard and bedroom wall decor inspiration.
Wall Scenes Inspired by Nature
Let nature in with wall scenes of nature, like peaceful fields or woods. I once put up a wall scene of silver birch in my eating area, and right away, it gave the room a more peaceful vibe. You can also explore modern wood wall designs to add natural texture to your space.
Change Wall Art
Keep your decor new by changing pieces by the season. I love adding warmer colors in fall and soft colors in spring. You can also incorporate wooden tree designs to bring a natural element to your walls.
Hanging Shelves with Art
Use hanging shelves to show art and decor for a fun look. In my cooking space, they hold small plants and frame prints for a live show. You can also explore unique art and decor ideas to style the space above your bed.
Easy Art Shapes
Add size with easy wall art shapes. I have a simple metal piece that adds fun without taking over the space. Check out these eye-catching wall art ideas to find the perfect fit for your home.
Good Art Pieces
Pick art made in good ways to add both beauty and staying power. My wall has a hand-made piece that helps local artists. You can pair these pieces with creative wood slat wall designs to elevate your space.
One Color Show
A one color show makes a stylish and cohesive look. My hall has black and white prints for a striking way in. You can explore more modern black and white bedroom concepts to carry this aesthetic throughout your home.
Soft Color Cloths
Soft colors do great for a calm feel. I’ve put tan and gray cloths in my sleep space to make a calm hideaway.
