5 Ways to Achieve Rustic Farmhouse Style the Scandi Way
Have you discovered cosy, Scandinavian rustic farmhouse interiors? They are airy and design-savvy like their city counterparts, but they can be even more “hyggeligt” (cosy), with a comforting sense of history from aged, hard-wearing elements. Here are a few tips to achieve the look at home.

Iron Details: Iron details are super traditional in Scandinavia. Incorporate black iron into your home as candle holders, a chandelier, or cabinet or door handles.
Sheepskins: You’ve heard it before, and I’ll say it again! A cosy sheepskin, draped across furniture, is a classic Scandinavian detail. Throw it over your armchairs, dining chairs, benches, across the foot of your bed, or even on the floor, to add warmth to your space. It will literally keep you warm, and it also feels cosy, like a hug!
Vintage Ceramics: Chunky, vintage ceramic jars and jugs can be decorative, or functional. They look as though they have remained there for generations, which will re-enforce a rustic mood.
Rustic Wood: Rustic wood instantly feels farmhouse. If you don’t have exposed wooden beams, find a vintage dining or coffee table to bring the look in. They’re also great details that allow you to further relax in the space, as you won’t be worried about scratching or staining it! Also, unpolished floors that feel and look hard-wearing are great for any rustic farmhouse.
Pinnstolar chairs: These wooden chairs with tall pegs at the back, are very traditional in Scandinavia. Choose one in natural wood, or painted for this rustic look.
