Like any interiors scheme, accessorising is key. Layer sofas and chairs with plenty of soft pillows and faux-fur throws for maximum comfort factor.

Ragged Rose’s jewel-coloured velvet cushions and blankets give a feminine touch, while Dash & Albert Europe’s muted linen prints are ideal for a mix-and-match effect. Bright prints, such as shown on the cushions at Hibou Home and Aspace, are perfect for an otherwise neutral room – bringing interest and colour to a pared-back scheme.

For chic stripes, subtle patterns and soft, sheepskin finishes, stock up at Scandi Living. “A neutral colour palette is the trademark of Scandinavian interiors,” says founder and director Linda Swarbrick. “I love the striking looks that can be achieved with such simplicity. Grey is so elegant and can be amazingly warm and inviting when used in the correct way.”
