This post is all about exploring the nordic interior style, specifically in kids rooms. Let’s discuss key elements to achieving a Scandinavian kids room aesthetic!
What is the Scandinavian style you might ask? It originates from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. It is known for simplicity, minimalism, natural materials and light neutral colours. It is often a mix of modern and vintage furniture creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Scandinavian kids room elements:
1. Vintage Wallpaper
Scandinavian style is a mix of vintage and modern and this can also be seen in kids rooms! Often they are sporting vintage drool worthy wallpaper. Wallpaper can make all the difference and completely transform a room, so don’t under estimate it!
2. Wooden furniture and wooden elements
Nine times out of ten there will be wooden furniture in a Scandinavian style kids room! The wood against the soft colour palette makes a great contrast and adds warmth to the room!
3. Nordic plush toys
What is a Scandinavian kids bedroom without nordic plush toys? These have a specific look and often look home sewn with neutral coloured fabrics. Consider hanging one from the ceiling for a fun aspect to the room!
4. Soft colour pallete
Looking at the images you will notice a theme of a soft neutral colour palette! Warm neutrals like creams, warm whites, beiges and soft pastels are what make these rooms a pleasant and happy space for the kids to be in!
5. Vintage art
Cute vintage illustrations are often seen in nordic rooms! Cute animals or other fun images are often chosen for kids room and make the room extra special! I also have a post where I share 50 free vintage images with you! Click here to read it.
6. Ditsy bed linens and quilts
Often ditsy ruffled bed sheets are seen in Scandinavian kids rooms that have floral patterns. There are usually layers of soft textiles including quilts, ruffles pillows and sheets.
7. Linen bunting banner
Linen bunting banners are often seen in nordic bedrooms. I am not sure about the origin but it makes for a cute and fun addition in your kids room!
8. Bed Canopy
To add a special touch and really complete the look often bed canopies are used. This adds a layer of texture and makes your little one feel like a prince/princess!
9. Smart storage solutions
If you ever made a trip to IKEA then you will know that Scandinavians are known for smart storage solutions! This is no different in kids rooms and there are often smart storage solutions incorporated!
10. Cute outfit on display
Cute outfits are often hung out on display! Especially in girls room choosing a cute dress in colours that match the room out on display is almost like art and adds a sweet touch!
