Scandinavian bathroom ideas

Scandi bathrooms embrace simplicity and function. Characterized by clean lines and natural materials, they have a neutral color palette, particularly white, gray and beige. Clever storage ideas help declutter the bathroom, creating the minimalist, cozy feel called “hygge”. Let’s explore this timeless style.

White modern bathroom furniture

Easy to combine with soft shades of pink, green, gray or brown, white furniture looks great in a Scandi bathroom. Choose a high gloss expression with integrated handles or a clean, straightforward design that’s easy to personalize with knobs or handles. Textiles and accessories in accent colors add warmth.

Welcoming wooden bathroom designs

If you want a truly Scandinavian-inspired bathroom, choose wood. Nuances of birch, ash and oak remind of timber cabins, Nordic summer houses and rustic saunas. Bathroom furniture with a wooden effect gives your space a relaxing feel with an outdoor vibe, while integrated handles enhance the minimalist look.

Do you prefer a more crafted style? There’s bathroom furniture that combines modern functions with traditional Scandinavian appeal for a comfortable Nordic country house feel. Beveled panels give your bathroom an elegantly robust style and you can add a personal touch with your choice of knobs and handles.

Gray bathrooms with a Scandi touch

A bathroom with white walls might benefit from gray furniture to soften the look. Light gray cabinets with white knobs and handles create a bright Scandi-inspired space. Dark gray cabinets pull the design towards Japandi — a merge of Japanese and Scandinavian styles, both promoting the idea of “less is more”.

Open bathrooms ideas

Open shelves allow you to display your prettiest accessories and make them part of the décor. Choose a bathroom system where you can combine open and closed storage, change doors and add units — minimalist practicality in a nutshell. Soft fabrics and greenery add a hint of nature, true to the Scandi style.

Add contrast to the simple Scandinavian style. Mix colours and textures, from white frames with black accessories, to a wooden stool and a colorful mat.
