Which home was your favorite? I’d love to hear your thoughts, leave a comment below or come say hi on Instagram!
Spring decorating in a Scandinavian home focuses on simplicity, freshness, and natural beauty. Think tulips in vintage vases, light linens, white or pastel color palettes, and natural wood elements. Many Scandinavian homes also use floral window boxes, terracotta pots, and soft lighting to bring in that bright, airy spring feel.
In spring, Scandinavian cottage style often incorporates soft whites, light grays, pale blues, faded greens, and pops of yellow or pink from seasonal florals. These colors help create a fresh and serene atmosphere while maintaining the calm, minimal base that Scandinavian design is known for.
Absolutely! Many Scandinavian spring homes feature vintage finds like antique hutches, inherited tableware, and secondhand wooden furniture. Blending old and new is part of the Nordic charm—it adds warmth and authenticity to minimalist design.
Scandinavian minimalism emphasizes clean lines, white space, and a “less is more” philosophy. Scandinavian cottage style, on the other hand, blends that simplicity with cozy textures, soft patterns, and vintage character—especially in spring when fresh flowers and natural light soften the look.
Start with natural materials like linen, wood, and clay. Add fresh seasonal flowers like tulips or daffodils, soften your color palette, and declutter your space. Incorporate a few vintage pieces or flea market finds to give it that lived-in, Scandinavian cottage feel. Even a simple change like swapping out heavy curtains for sheer ones can bring in that fresh Nordic vibe.
