Swedish Country House Décor
Imagine a dreamy, historic country house, waiting patiently in the Swedish countryside to welcome its family and guests for the summer season. It’s a mix of antique décor, furniture that’s been passed down over the generations, classic striped fabrics and nature-inspired prints. Here is how to combine fabrics and decorative pieces, to re-create this look in your own home.
Swedish Country House fabrics (clockwise from top centre): Nile & York Ilex Green, Neptune Linara Flax Blue, Arlo & Jacob Jenson Stripe, (Marble), Ian Mankin Blazer Stripe Seagreen/Sage, Loaf Clever Laundered Linen Anchor Grey, Ian Mankin Lining Stripe Cream.
The style is both elegant and refined, as well as comfortable. A tight colour palette of grey-blues and whites is the base of the look, with touches of red, green or yellow. There are some beautiful examples from the book “Le Charme Suédois” by Katrin Cargill.

To re-create this elevated look at home, consider details in marble and glass. Bring in a range of blues and stripes. If you’re thinking bigger, white-painted and white-washed furniture is very Swedish-country style. Also, incorporating nature-inspired patterned wallpaper is a quick way to create a country feel.
